Ingredients

  

  • 2 large onions, chopped (about 3½ cups)
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free or reduced-fat milk
  • 1 (1-LB) package Marie Callender’s Original Corn Bread Mix
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans cream-style corn
  • 1 cup fat-free sour cream (½ pint)
  • ½ cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Instructions

 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a 13″x9″ baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Place the chopped onions and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high about 4 minutes, until the onions are soft. Set aside, keeping any liquid in the bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg and milk. Stir in the cornbread mix and the cream-style corn until combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Spoon the cooked onions and any remaining liquid from the bowl evenly over the cornbread batter.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently spread dollops of sour cream over the onions. You don’t need to cover them completely—the sour cream will form little pillows as it bakes.
  • Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar evenly over the sour cream.
  • Bake 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
  • Let the casserole rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 16 squares. It can be made ahead, refrigerated and reheated, and it freezes well.
