This easy corn casserole recipe is a classic comfort food side dish made with Jiffy mix and just 5 other ingredients. A perfect recipe for Thanksgiving, Sunday dinner, or any day.
Also called corn pudding or creamed corn casserole, this sweet and savory side dish is a family favorite, like our creamed corn and fried apples.

A must-have at Thanksgiving dinner, this old-fashioned corn casserole recipe is just like the one that grandma made.
Maybe it was on the box of Jiffy at one point? I am not sure where it originated… I just know that this is the absolute best corn casserole I have ever had.

If you haven’t ever had it before, you are in for a real treat. It is almost like a moist, creamy corn bread loaded with corn kernels.
Sweet corn is used in the recipe, which gives the casserole an incredible natural sweetness that will leave everyone begging for seconds.
Like sweet potato casserole, this is one of those recipes that are so sweet and satisfying that you could seriously serve them for dessert!

The best part? This classic corn side dish is made with just 6 simple ingredients and 5 minutes of prep!
It seriously doesn’t get any easier than this.
Ingredients

Here is what you will need:
- Jiffy corn muffin mix
- a can of sweet corn (kernal corn)
- a can of cream style corn (creamed corn)
- sour cream
- eggs
- melted butter
Note: I have found that some cans of corn are 14.75 ounces and others are 15 ounces. Either size can works well for this recipe.
Recipe Variations
- Regular corn: Only have non-sweet corn on hand? No worries! Your casserole will still be amazing–just not as sweet. If you want to make it sweeter you can add 1/4 cup sugar to the recipe.
- Cheese: Add ½ to 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the recipe for a delicious cheesy version.
- Extra sweet: Add ¼ cup sugar for extra sweetness.
How to Make Jiffy Corn Casserole
Making the casserole is as easy as mixing the 6 ingredients together and baking in an 8 x 8 casserole dish as directed in the recipe card below.
That is it!

Storage
Refrigerator: Cover cooled leftovers with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat for about 10-15 minutes in a 300° F oven, or briefly in the microwave.
Freezer: For best taste, I recommend NOT freezing this recipe, as it can change the texture.

It’s one of my favorite side dishes too! So delicious!
Thank you so much for this amazing recipe! Tasted really delicious and it’s easy to make! Highly recommended!
This recipe has been in our family for over 50 years. Love it! A Thanksgiving tradition.
I need to make for a party of 50 how do I measure for that many people ?
I would bake 3 double batches in 9 x 13 baking pans. To do this simply double everything from the recipe above for each batch. Note that they will take longer to bake in a 9 x 13, about 55- 65 minutes. Enjoy!
So you drain the cream style corn, but not the can of regular kernel can???
“a can of sweet corn (kernal corn)
a can of cream style corn, drained (creamed corn)”
Whoops! No, that is backwards. Drain the kernels, NOT the creamed corn. Thank you for pointing my mistake out, I will fix it now.
Ours is made a lil different. We used everything except the sour cream and we add an onion sauté…1 can of green chili peppers and cheese in tioy
what is tioy?
I think it should have said “in to it “
Is white corn ok to use?
Yes, as long as you use one can kernal corn and one can creamed corn. It just will not be as sweet as if you made it using sweet corn.
(Just to clarify) White corn is sweet also, i think it is probably sweeter than yellow corn. In FL there is a variety called Silver Queen I had years ago, and it was the best! I use frozen white corn in a Lawry’s baked creamed corn casserole recipe and it is great.
🥰
I have made this many years and have started substituting can cream style corn for the freezer cream stlyle as it is more fresh
Great idea!
I thought Jiffy makes different kinds of muffin mixes?
Did you use the corn bread mix?
You are correct, Jiffy does make other mixes. For this recipe, you will need Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. You can see a picture of the package under the ingredient section of the blog post.
