Jiffy Corn Casserole
One of my favorite things about winter time is sitting down together as a family around the dinner table with a hot home-cooked meal. It’s this time of year when we like to pull out all of the classic family recipes such as meatloaf, baked chicken, Mexican soups….good, simple comfort food.
When we sit down together to eat, this simple Jiffy Corn Casserole with 5 ingredients is often on the table because it is so simple and versatile. It’s a holiday staple as easy as green bean casserole.
This recipe was given to me by a friend, but if you’ve ever heard of Paula Deen’s corn casserole, it’s very similar.
Is corn casserole the same thing as corn pudding?
I’ve realized since we shared this recipe that many people call this corn pudding. My husband loves pudding so he’s totally on board with this. This recipe does have an almost creamy texture from the cream corn, butter and sour cream.
Call it either…corn casserole or corn pudding. We do have a recipe that we call “corn pudding casserole” which has more of a custard base than this recipe.
Jiffy Corn Casserole Ingredients
You’ll need just 5 ingredients for this easy corn casserole recipe:
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 1 can of creamed corn
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 stick of melted butter (½ cup)
- 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
There are many variations of this corn casserole. You can add egg, a touch of sugar, or cheese. But in our favorite? These 5 simple ingredients.
Easy, right?
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 mix. *Do not use the ingredients on the back of the jiffy box mix. Just the dry mix.*
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8″ casserole dish and bake at 350ºF for about 45-50 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on the exact size pan you use, so just be sure to watch the casserole closely. You’ll know it is done when the center is completely set.

Recipe Variations
- Corn Casserole with Eggs. Mix in 2 eggs….this creates just a bit more of a lighter corn casserole.
- Cheesy Corn Casserole. Add ½ to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese….because cheese makes everything better, right?
- Corn Casserole with Sugar. Add ¼ cup to ½ cup sugar depending on the sweetness of the corn….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.**
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you double this recipe?
We often double this 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.
How do you make this casserole in the slow cooker?
Save oven space by cooking in a slow cooker on high for 2 ½ 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.
This Jiffy corn casserole is truly thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner staple for our family. We hope that it becomes a favorite for your family holiday dinners, too!

Absolutely love this jiffy cornbread casserole and my family just raves about I have to make a double batch for every holiday. Absolutely! Love, jiffy cornbread mix
Who has tried it in a Crock-Pot??
Great recipe. I saute onion in the butter and sometimes add a can of green chilies.
You didnt melt butter in video like the recipe states. But im guessing it doesnt matter
Is this gluten free?
Can Greek yogurt be substituted instead of sour cream?
Do you drain the whole kernel corn??
I made this tonite and it was delicious! I almost never go back for seconds but made an exception for this dish. I followed the recipe exactly with the only exception being that I added one egg. I used an 8 X 8 metal pan and put a piece of parchment paper in the pan so things would not stick. I cooked it in a counter top convection oven for 40 minutes at 360. It passed the knife test but just to be safe I added 5 more minutes. It came out perfect with a light brown crust. I will… Read more »
Can you make this in a disposable aluminum pan? I don’t want to worry about getting my baking dish back!
This is really tasty if you substitute the sour cream out with French onion dip. Adds a little extra flavor.
Add green chilies and sour cream to any corn casserole recipe.
Can i use 2 cans whole kernel cirn
Love this recipe,
I add 1 egg for every box of jiffy mix. I also add 1/2 half cup of cheese and sprinkle in some sugar roughly 1/4 cup.
I do double this recipe and never had any issues. I have never tried this without eggs. I believe the eggs helps make it set perfect.
Great basic recipe. Took the author’s suggestion and did a variation by adding 1 egg and a tablespoon of sugar(1/4 – 1/2 a cup seemed a bit excessive). Turned out great! Just a tad bit sweeter and creamier. With a buttered baking dish it seemed to have a good texture contrast between the slightly crisp edge and creamier interior. I find the bake time needs just a bit longer when an egg is added to the recipe, maybe 5 minutes or so. I test doneness by inserting a toothpick(or knife) in the center and making sure it comes out clean… Read more »
I’m so happy I finally found this recipe. My daughter made it for our holiday gatherings. I asked her for the recipe. All she said was to go online and find one. So, here I am, and happy as a lark. Now I won’t make a mistake on putting the ingredients together. I tried making it once before but it didn’t bake through. It still was great leftovers.
