Ingredients Needed to make Cornbread Casserole with Jiffy
See printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for exact ingredient amounts and instructions.
- Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix– this comes in a little blue box, 8.5 ounces to be exact, and is slightly sweet in flavor. You can also use vegetarian Jiffy cornbread mix to make this a vegetarian dish.
- Butter– this adds richness and structure once combined. I use unsalted butter in this recipe, salted butter works great too though.
- Corn– you’ll use canned sweet corn, ensure it is fully drained so it doesn’t add too much additional liquid to the batter.
- Creamed Corn– this adds a lot of moisture and creaminess to the casserole.
- Sour Cream– adds a creamy, slightly tangy flavor to the cornbread.
- Eggs– these bind everything together. Add these once at room temperature so everything combines easily.
- Cheese– I use shredded Cheddar cheese however, pepper jack cheese works great too. Try to freshly shred your own cheese as the pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as evenly as its coated with an anti-clumping additive.
Substitutes and Variations of this Easy Corn Casserole
- Plain Greek Yogurt can be used in place of the sour cream. It does give it a bit stronger of a flavor addition, but still tastes great.
- Whole Kernel Corn can be used in place of the Sweet Corn, just depends on what you have available and your tastes.
- For a heat addition, stir in some chopped jalapenos.
- If you want to add in a protein, cooked and crumbled bacon is a great addition.
- Mexicorn can be used in place of the corn kernels. Mexicorn has peppers and onions in it, making it similar to a Mexican Cornbread Casserole.
- Add in onion, green peppers, green chiles, or green onions for a flavor boost.
How to make Jiffy Cornbread Casserole with Sour Cream
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8×8 baking dish.
- Pour melted butter into prepared pan.
- Add both the corn and cream style corn into the pan.
- Add in the eggs and sour cream, stir until all is mixed.
- Add 1 cup cheese and box Jiffy corn muffin mix. Stir until combined.
- Place into oven to bake about 40-45 minutes.
- Just before being fully baked, remove from oven and sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top. *This keeps the cheese from being baked too long and becoming a hard layer on top.
- Place pan back into oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through and cheese has melted.
- Remove from oven and serve!
Note: I prefer making this in the same pan it is baked in to save time at clean up, however, using a large mixing bowl works great too.
Tips for the best Original Jiffy Corn Casserole
- To double this, you can make this in a 9×13 casserole dish. Just be sure to adjust the time since it is thicker and will need a few extra minutes in the oven.
- Rather than traditional cornbread where you cut into squares, I prefer serving mine using a spoon. The texture is similar to corn pudding, making this more of a scoop dish versus cutting into pieces. If you prefer pieces, that works great too, just let it set up a bit before cutting.
- To make this gluten free, simply use a gluten free cornbread mix such as King Arthur or Simple Truth brands.
Storing and Reheating Jiffy Creamed Corn Casserole
- If you have leftovers, allow to fully cool before covering dish with lid or plastic wrap. You can also store leftovers in an airtight container. Store in the fridge up to 4 days.
- To reheat: place leftovers into preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. I recommend putting the leftovers on a piece of aluminum foil versus using the baking dish again as it keeps clean up easy and simple. You can also microwave leftovers in 30 second increments until heated through.
Recipe FAQs
Can this recipe be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, that is my preferred method as it saves on time. Simply prepare recipe as directed and cover baking dish with plastic wrap. Store unbaked in the refrigerator up to 48 hours in advance. Allow additional cook time as the dish will be chilled.
How do I freeze this Corn Pudding Casserole?
Unfortunately, I do not recommend freezing this. The texture changes and gets a bit mushy and loses a lot of its flavor once reheated. Plan to serve this and enjoy the leftovers for a few days, but not freezing.
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes! Although it does change the texture making it in a crock-pot, it still works great. Cook on low for about 4 hours or high for about 2. Keep an eye on it as each slow cooker cooks differently.
Is Corn Casserole the same as Corn Pudding?
Yep! This casserole can go by so many names, I am sure everyone has heard of at least one version. Corn pudding is often made from scratch and entails more ingredients than the classic casserole version, however, both are the same and taste great. This shortcut version is my favorite!
What to serve with Jiffy Corn Casserole?
This recipe is extremely versatile and can be served with soups, chilis, roasted meats, grilled dishes, and more! This is a Holiday staple in our house at Thanksgiving and Christmas with our green bean casserole, loaded mashed potatoes, and turkey. However, I often make this throughout the year with my Grilled Brushetta Chicken, Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup, or Melt in Your Mouth Chicken Bake!
How do you know when corn casserole is done?
When the casserole is golden brown in color and has only a slight jiggle to it, it is ready to be removed from the oven.
What is the difference between corn casserole and cornbread?
Cornbread is a classic semi-sweet Southern quick bread made with yellow cornmeal. Cornbread Casserole is made with whole corn, creamed corn, and cornbread mix to create a softer, more souffle-like cake with more moisture content than cornbread.
