Is corn casserole the same thing as corn pudding?
Iโve realized since we shared this recipe that many people call this corn pudding. My husband loves pudding so heโs totally on board with this. This recipe does have an almost creamy texture from the cream corn, butter and sour cream.
Call it eitherโฆcorn casserole or corn pudding. We do have a recipe that we call โcorn pudding casseroleโ which has more of a custard base than this recipe.

How to Make Corn Casserole with Jiffy Mix
Make this family favorite corn recipe in just 2 steps:
- Throw all of those ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. *Do not use the ingredients on the back of the jiffy box mix. Just the dry mix.*
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 8ร8″ casserole dish and bake at 350ยบF for about 45-50 minutes.ย The exact baking time will depend on the exact size pan you use, so just be sure to watch the casserole closely. How do you know when corn casserole is done? The center is completely set and internal temperature should be at least 165ยบF.
Recipe Variations
- Corn Casserole with Eggs. Mix in 2 eggsโฆ.this creates just a bit more of a lighter corn casserole.
- Cheesy Corn Casserole. Add ยฝ to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheeseโฆ.because cheese makes everything better, right?
- Corn Casserole with Sugar. Add ยผ cup to ยฝ cup sugar depending on the sweetness of the cornโฆ.this of course makes it a very sweet corn casserole. If you add the eggs and sugar, it almost takes like a corn cake and could be eaten for dessert!
Make Ahead Instructions
Make this creamy jiffy corn casserole up to 48 hours in advance. Mix up the casserole, place it in the baking dish and cover it with plastic wrap. When you are ready to bake it, remove it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you put it in the oven. Then bake as the recipe suggests.
**For best results, remove the casserole 1 hour before baking to take the chill off.**
Can you double corn casserole recipe?
Yes! Double the recipe and bake it in a 9×13″ pan. Depending on your oven, this may take an additional 15 minutes to bake, so plan accordingly.
Can you make corn casserole in the slow cooker?
Yes! Save oven space by cooking corn casserole in a slow cooker on high for 2 ยฝ hours or on low for 4 hours. Each crock pot heats differently so watch the casserole closely. If you double the recipe it may take longer to cook.
Can I freeze corn casserole?
For the best textured casserole, I would not recommend making this in advance and freezing the entire casserole to reheat later.
However, if you have leftovers, they will freeze okay if you store it in an airtight container.

Notes
- Mix in 2 eggs….this creates just a bit more of a lighter corn casserole.
- Add ½ to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese….because cheese makes everything better, right?
- Add ¼ cup to ½ cup sugar….this of course makes it a very sweet corn casserole. If you add the eggs and sugar, it almost takes like a corn cake and could be eaten for dessert!
- Sour cream is best added into the mixture when it is not straight from the fridge. Set it at room temperature or warm it slightly in the microwave to take the chill off.
- Frozen sweet corn kernels work well. I add about 12 ounces to this casserole in place of the canned corn.
- If there are leftovers of corn casserole, put them in a storage container or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

I see from the Dec. 2016 comment that no one has tried freezing it and then defrosting and heating and serving. I’m thinking of doing this for this Thanksgiving since I’m traveling. Has anyone tried it yet?? I’d love to know if it’s going to freeze well. We are bringing this side for a huge family gathering. I cant’ mess it up. Thanks in advance!
Will this work if I use a GF cornbread mix instead if Jiffy?
I made this for the first time and used less sour cream and added just one egg and some sugar. Baked 45 minutes & we loved it. This cornbread recipe is moist and not dry like regular cornbread nor is it meant to be
I leave out the sour cream and use 1/2 the butter but add jalapeรฑo peppers and cheddar cheese. Bake it in a 10 ร 13 dish. Comes out more like corn bread.
Can I make it and freeze it? Should I bake 1st and then freeze ?
I kind of concocted something similar to this several years ago. I have made it using a box of
yellow cake mix, instead of the Jiffy cornbread. I added a little vanilla, too. Makes it sweet because of
the cake mix. YummmmmmmY
This would be such a great recipe to try for Thanksgiving! I always have corn and this would be a fun spin on it!
I just made this for dinner but it’s the first time I’ve had it. Is it supposed to be very creamy inside? Or is it still supposed to be like original cornbread? I stuck a fork through it at the 50 minutes but it didn’t seem done so I left it in for another 10-15 mins. The edges were starting to brown so I pulled it out and it’s still gooey.
Has anyone tried this in a crockpot? Wondering if it would work just as well there.
Can I make this ahead of time? Like today for tomorrow?
i don’t know what jiffy corn muffin mix is – what could i use?
How would I double your corn casserole recipe? Thanks Darrell
Do you still add the ingredients required on the box of Jiffy cornbread mix? Or skip them altogether?
I always bake this corn casserole at 350 for one hour. We also like ours a little sweeter so I add 1/4 cup of white sugar. This is a family favorite!
So gonna whip up that recipe at home.
