How to Make Jiffy Cornbread Casserole in the Slow Cooker
Add the combined ingredients to a lightly greased crockpot and cook for about 2-3 hours on high or 4 hours on low. The center will be set when the casserole is done.
Storage
Refrigerator: Cover cooled leftovers with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Reheat for about 10-15 minutes in a 300° F oven. If the top is browning before the cornbread casserole is heated through you can tent it with foil. Reheating in the microwave would also work.
Freezer: For best taste, I recommend NOT freezing this recipe, as it can change the texture.
Cornbread Casserole 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 ¼ cup sugar to the recipe.
- Cheese: Add ½ to 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter for a delicious cheesy corn casserole.
- Bacon: You can never go wrong with a sprinkle of bacon bits!
- With a kick: Add a little bit of diced jalapenos or canned green chiles (or a whole can if you are feeling spicy) for added flavor.
What to Serve with Corn Casserole
This jiffy corn casserole goes great with turkey (think classic Thanksgiving dinner), meatloaf, roast chicken, chicken tenders, crockpot chili, mashed potatoes, and buttermilk biscuits. It pairs well with BBQ food like slow cooker BBQ brisket or root beer pulled pork. But you can pair it with whatever your heart desires!
FAQ
Yes, this cornbread recipe is great for making ahead! Prep it up to 24 hours before baking then cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. When you are ready to bake the next day, uncover the dish and allow it to sit on the countertop for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help it come back to room temperature. Then bake as directed.
You sure can! To double this jiffy corn casserole recipe double all the ingredients and bake in a 9 x 13 baking dish for about 55-65 minutes. Tent the top with aluminum foil if it begins to brown before the center has baked through.
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!
