Just Spent Time Looking at My Old Discussions for a Recipe and Came Up Empty Handed. I Mean to Fix That Pronto

Periodically, I've shared some of my favorite recipes on here so I can find them more easily. I thought for sure that I've made this once or twice per year, but if I did post them, I didn't do a good job with my tags. I made it back into 2016 and still haven't found what I'm looking for. The image here is my corn casserole before it's been baked. I may redo the image once it's baked or after we eat. I will also include a recipe I found online to follow and there are several variations to the basic theme. One reason I'm making this now is because I've been going through my pantry to throw out old things and found six cans of creamed corn. My husband hates creamed corn, so I can't serve it for any meals. Both my daughters used to enjoy it, but neither wants it anymore. I don't have regular corn on hand, but I figure once baked no one will know what went into the casserole anyway. Normally you'd want to use one can of regular kernal corn and one can of creamed corn. But, I normally use on of the regular corn and two of the creamed just so it's not too dry, It takes one box of the jiffy corn muffin mix, one cup of sour cream and one stick of butter which I realized I forgot to put into what I made for tonight, You can also add cheese if you'd like, but that doesn't sound good to me and you can add one or two eggs which I have done before. This time I used one egg. Mix all the ingredients, put into a cake pan and bake for forty minutes or so at 350 degrees. When I began putting it together tonight, I got half of it into a bowl and then looked around three times for my jiffy mix which I was pretty sure I bought recently. I finally found it, A few hours ago, I didn't know what I would be having with the corn casserole. I've made the casserole with cheesy potatoes before and that's what my sil usually makes for Christmas meals. I remembered that I bought fixin's for chili and since it's icy outside, that's what we're having, without meat. Maybe my husband won't notice the meat is missing right away. For the chili I use my store brand natural tomato sauce. I normally use diced tomatoes but then I have to puree them anyway, so just bought sauce this time. It also has a can of red kidney beans, black beans, and canelli beans to mix it up a bit. I use chili power and a lot of cumin to flavor it. I also am cooking some rotini noodles to have in the chili if desired. My mom always had macaroni noodles with chili probably to help it go further with six kids to feed. My husband liked that addition and I'll eat some with my chili.
