Jiffy Corn Casserole Recipe

This Jiffy cream corn casserole is so easy to make and requires hardly any prep work, it can even be made ahead. While it can be served any time of the year, it’s especially great on your Thanksgiving menu alongside a roasted turkey or baked ham with easy cheesy potatoes.

You could even serve it with roasted chicken and funeral potatoes if you would like. It’s creamier than regular cornbread and has a corn pudding-like texture. It’s soft in the middle and is best served with a spoon. Pure comfort food right here!

Jiffy corn casserole ingredients are so simple and ones that can be kept on hand when in need of a dish that makes any dinner (holiday or otherwise) shine.

  • Butter: I like to use salted butter when adding a little extra fat to the casserole.
  • Creamed corn: Cream-style corn makes the casserole creamier and gives it its distinct flavor.
  • Sweet corn: I use canned, but you can use frozen or fresh, if you prefer. Any of them will add texture and sweetness to the dish.
  • Cornbread mix: I like to use 1 box of Jiffy corn muffin mix for this, which gives the casserole its structure.
  • Sour cream: This adds a nice tang of creaminess.
  • Egg: It only takes 1 egg to bind everything together.
  • Sugar: Just a little bit to add a little sweetness.

Is Corn Casserole and Corn Pudding the Same?

Kinda, sorta! There are a lot of different names for this dish including corn pudding, corn souffle, and scalloped corn. Each is essentially the same and taste absolutely delicious.

Usually when people are talking about a corn pudding recipe they are talking about the dish where the texture is almost more loose and custardy. Corn casserole on the other hand has a bit more structure from the egg and cornbread mix.

How to Make Corn Casserole with Jiffy Mix

If you can stir, you can make this easy corn casserole recipe.

Corn pudding batter in baking dish.
  1. Combine. Mix together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Then pour batter into a buttered casserole dish.
  2. Bake. Bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown (make sure the middle has set).
  3. Cool. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips and Variations

  • Coat your baking dish. Coat it very well with butter before pouring in the batter. It helps the edges of the casserole to brown up nicely (which is my favorite part to eat!).
  • Omit the egg. For an egg-free corn casserole, omit the egg. The texture will be looser and more like a corn pudding.
  • Loaded corn casserole: Top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, crumbles of cooked bacon and sliced green onions the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Sweet version: Add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Spicy: Use Mexican style corn and add in diced green chiles or jalapenos. Top with shredded cheese the last 10 minutes of baking. Try my Mexican cornbread, too!
