Corn Casserole

This corn casserole lands somewhere between pudding and cornbread, with a golden top and a buttery, spoon-soft center. Sweet kernels pop against the creamy crumb in every helping.

This Corn Casserole is soft, buttery, and lightly sweet with creamy corn baked into a rich spoonable casserole somewhere between cornbread and pudding! Easy to mix together and always comforting beside barbecue, chili, or holiday dinners, it’s a classic side dish that disappears quickly once it hits the table.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

I always think the cream-style corn is what makes this casserole taste different from regular cornbread. Sometimes I leave it in a little longer if the middle still looks too loose, and it warms up just as good the next day beside leftover barbecue.

How to Make Corn Casserole

◆

Cream-style corn, whole-kernel corn, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter arranged around a bowl as the wet ingredients are mixed.

01

Mix the Wet Ingredients

Stir together warm melted butter, both kinds of corn, sour cream, and beaten eggs until evenly blended.

Add the Corn Muffin Mix

Fold in the dry Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix just until no dry pockets remain.

Bake Until Golden

Spread the batter in a greased casserole dish and bake until the top and edges are lightly golden and the center is set.

04

Serve Warm

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before scooping onto plates.
