What’s Inside Corn Casserole?
- Cornbread Mix: I always have boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix on hand, but you can also make your own in a “jiffy”!
- Corn: Use canned, fresh, or frozen corn kernels. Whole kernels add texture, while creamed corn keeps the casserole moist and sweet.
- Butter: I use salted butter, if using unsalted add extra salt to the recipe.
- Sour Cream: Sour cream can be replaced with plain Greek yogurt.
Variations
- Bacon: You can replace some butter with melted bacon grease or add crumbled bacon.
- Onion: Sliced green onion can be added or ½ teaspoon onion powder. Or, cook ½ small white onion in the melted butter before adding.
- Cheese: Cheddar cheese is a great addition.
- Jalapeno: Finely diced jalapenos or mild green chilis add flavor.

I made this yesterday, YUM !!! I am very glad I tried this. Thank you
Can you double this recipe and cook in a 9 x 13 casserole dish?
If you double the recipe, it will still cook beautifully. The consistency is a bit similar to a cake, if you press your finger on the top, it should spring back and not leave an indent. I haven’t tried baking it in a 9×13 casserole dish but I’m sure it would work!
Can you bake this as individual mini muffins or will it be too soft?
Other readers have made this recipe into muffins with great results but I have never personally tried. I would love to hear how it turns out for you!
Very easy and very good will always make this dish for special occasions and holidays
Would this be good adding blueberries?
I have only made this recipe as listed, so I can’t say for sure. But I would love to hear how it turns out for you.
Hi, I am sooooo happy I found You & Your incredible,perfect recepies
Blessings.
I’ve been making this since 1991, I add honey and nutmeg on top before baking :)
I added a finely chopped bunch of green onions an everybody loved it!
Darn, no leftovers…
everyone loved it. “make it again, please”
This is such a satisfying easy dish! I love it. I had not made this for a while and forgot what the texture of the cooked casserole was to be. Once it cooled a bit , all that deliciousness and the soft corn tastey bites woke my tastebud memories! Yum! Paired this your crispy baked potatoe wedge recipes to go with our grilled ribeyes for Christmas dinner. Thank you and best to you and your family for the Holidays!
I’m so glad you loved it Chey, Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
Two questions: how much bacon if adding, and secondly, is there a noticeable sour cream tangy taste to the baked casserole? Thank you.
I would suggest about 3 tablespoons of crumbled bacon – you can add more but this amount will add just a little bit of flavor. I don’t notice a tangy flavor in this recipe once cooked.
This was delicious! I added a small handful of cheddar, and a bit of powdered onion and fresh ground black pepper. I’m vegetarian so I used the Vegetarian Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix instead. It took a little longer to set but maybe that was the different Jiffy mix?
