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.

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.
