Jiffy Corn Casserole is a side dish that is made with a mixture of corn, corn bread, sour cream, cheese, onions, and peppers… and a lot of butter. It is a slightly sweet, yet savory, side dish. It has the perfect consistency, somewhere between soft bread and pudding.
Corn Casserole can also be called Corn Pudding, Spoon Bread, Cornbread Casserole or even Pudding Corn
Any holiday we are celebrating, whether it is Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July… Corn Casserole is the one dish that I want to see on the table.
It goes great with mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, and jello salad.
How to Make Corn Casserole
This is actually a super easy side dish recipe. Which is great for the holidays when you have a lot of labor intensive dishes to make.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a saute pan, over medium heat, melt 1 stick of butter… always a good sign when you start with a stick of butter!!
Add the chopped onions, green peppers and salt & saute for about 5 -10 minutes.
While the veggies soften, mix all the other ingredients together in a large mixing bowl:
- canned corn, drained
- cream corn
- cheese
- sour cream
- eggs
- Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Let the onions and green peppers cool for a few minutes then stir it into the corn mixture.
Pour that mixture into a small baking dish, like a 9×9 pan.
At this point you can refrigerate the Corn Casserole and bake the next day.
When you are ready to serve the Corn Casserole, bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Make Ahead
To make this dish a day ahead, simply prepare the batter completely and pour into your baking dish. Cover and pop in the fridge. Pull out of the fridge and bake when you are ready!
Doubling
This recipe is also easily doubled for a crowd! Simply double all the ingredients and use a 9×13 baking dish, you may need to add 15-20 minutes to the cooking time.
Or when doubling, use two separate 9×9 casserole dishes and bake as directed.

First time trying a corn casserole and it was delicious! Made it for our family Christmas diner as a side dish and everyone loved it. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
Jess says
So dang yummy. I did only do 2 tablesspoons of butter to soften my red bell pepper and onion, but followed the recipe otherwise. Seems like it would readily lend itself to some varriations, too … poblanos or some jalapenos, a bit of cilantro, … bacon/ham.
John Glisson says
If u double the recipe you have to double the cooking time as well. She left that out. My family who is currently waiting for thanksgiving dinner wanted me to tell you.

You should be able to see all the ingredients right in the recipe card.
Peggy Miller says
I’ve made this recipe for years and we love it! I do add a squeeze of honey to it. Yummy 😋
Lisa says
You can also buy Honey Cornbread.
Seeley deBorn says
Looks good, but if you let it rest in the fridge all the leavening action in the cornbread will occur in the fridge, rather than in the oven and it won’t rise. If you need to prep something ahead of time, mix all ingredients *except* the Jiffy mix and fridge. Then, remove the pre-mix from the fridge when you preheat the oven, and stir in the mix just before you bake it.
