When you sit down to a comforting dinner, whether pot roast, pork chops or grilled chicken, what side dishes do you make? This best Corn Casserole Recipe is easy and one of our favorite side dishes to make for everything from a weeknight dinner to a holiday meal.
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!

- 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.

Has anyone tried freezing this?
Can I mix it all up and place it in the refrigerator overnight and bake in the morning? Also, has anyone tripled or quadrupled the recipe? We have a big crowd!!
Thank you. It will be a glass 9 X 13. So is there a way to tell when it is done?
Thank you!
If I wanted to double the recipe and bake it in a
9 X 13 pan, how long should I bake it? Should I adjust anything else in the recipe since I saw someone above did but she baked her casserole in a crock pot.
Thanks.
Can you make this at 375 degress and just cook for a little less time?
I made this recipe this morning but doubled it. I cooked it in my crock-pot insert (Crock) in the oven. I’ve never made this kind of dish before so adding 2 cubes of butter (1 cup) seemed excessive. So I only added 1 1/2 cubes. I had to lengthen the cooking time because it was double and it was in a deep crock instead of a shallow baking pan. I cooked it for about 1 1/2 hours. It came out really good. I than put the crock into the crockpot base and took it to church for our Christmas potluck.… Read more »
I made this two different ways. The first one, I stuck to the original. The second one I added 1/2 of a finely diced green (or red) bell pepper and 1 small finely diced onion, and lots of cheese. OMG, I think the bell pepper and onion took it over the top! Got one in the oven now, with the bell pepper, onion, lots of cheese inside and on top, and some finely crushed leftover nacho cheese chips on top. Such a great recipe, with room to be a little creative. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it’s a wonderful… Read more »
Can you make this in a crock pot?
I made this casserole yesterday. I added one egg and about 2 tablespoons of sugar and it turned out perfect. I absolutely love it
Wow! Delicious !!!
Added 1 tbsp of brown sugar and a bit of salt and came out delicious.
Thank you for this awesome recipe.
I just made this recipe. I went to the cupboard and only had cream corn, so I looked in the freezer and I had a bag of Chuckwagon corn, yellow corn with onions, red and green bell peppers chopped. It came out great! I used a bit less butter in it only 4 tablespoons but added 1/3 cup milk and the cheddar cheese. I had made this before for a Spanish Dinner and added the sugar to it, it tasted just like the corn cakes at El Torito. Yummy! This time I left out the sugar and it was a… Read more »
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was fantastic.
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I added the cheese but otherwise did as directed. My husband loved it!
So easy and so delicious!! This will be my go-to recipe!
This has been a family holiday staple for us for over 15 years. My son looks forward to it every year, everyone I share it with loves it, and I love that I can’t mess it up!
Delicious!! I made a few adjustments, but I 100% believe it would still be amazing as written. I had some leftover roasted butternut squash, so I used that in place of the creamed corn, I used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and since our household is currently forgoing added sugar, I whipped up a homemade variant of Jiffy mix without the sugar. I’m going to make more for another Thanksgiving gathering tomorrow! Definitely adding this one to my regular recipe arsenal 🙂
