    Why This Recipe Works

    • Easy recipe with simple ingredients that are mostly pantry staples.
    • Perfect addition to holiday meals.
    • Great side dish along with green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole.

    So, let's cook!

    When to Serve Cornbread Casserole

    • Any Holiday Meal
    • Taco Tuesday
    • Any Night of the Week 
    • With Chili
    • With Baked Ham

    Ingredients

    The ingredients, from top to bottom: Jiffy corn muffin mix, eggs, whole kernel corn, sour cream, cream style corn, and melted butter.

    Here's what you need:

    • Large Eggs - You must not use smaller than large eggs in this recipe for the casserole to set properly while it bakes.
    • Sour Cream - Sour cream is tangy and thick which improves the flavor and helps form the pudding-like texture.
    • Salted Butter - The butter must be melted and cooled to keep the eggs from scrambling as you mix the batter.
    • Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix - Sometimes referred to as "jiffy cornbread mix", this mighty little box is the base of the cornbread casserole.
    • Whole Kernel Corn - I prefer to use frozen and thawed whole kernel corn for a fresher taste than canned.
    • Creamed Corn - A single can of creamed corn makes the casserole soft and tender.
    • Non-Stick Cooking Spray - You will need to grease the casserole dish. I like to use the butter-flavored cooking spray but you can alternatively use 1 tablespoon of soft butter. (not shown)

    Please see the recipe card for the exact quantities.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Process Photo

    Preheat and Prepare. Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C and spray a baking dish or 1 ½ quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or grease with 1 tablespoon of butter.

    Process Photo 2a - Eggs, sour cream, and melted butter are in a large mixing bowl.
    Process Photo 2b - Eggs, sour cream, and melted butter are whisked together until well mixed in a large mixing bowl.

    Whisk. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until well combined.

    Process Photo 3a - Creamed corn, a Jiffy corn muffin mix, and corn kernels are added to the egg mixture.
    Process Photo 3b - All of the corn casserole ingredients are whisked together in a large glass bowl.

    Combine. Add the corn muffin mix, whole corn kernels, and creamed corn and mix until well combined.

    Process Photo 4 - The corn batter is spread in a large flat casserole.

    Bake. Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the top and edges are golden brown. It’s okay if the center is wobbly.

    Serve and Enjoy. Remove the casserole from the oven and serve. This casserole is best enjoyed when served warm.

    My Top Tips

    ♡ Melt the butter in the microwave using a 1-cup measuring cup. The larger cup helps keep the butter from splattering.

    ♡ For a pudding-like center, bake the casserole for the minimum time and check it for doneness. The edges should be set and a tester will come out clean, but the center will have a slight wobble.

    Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix Substitution

    Sift together onto a large sheet of parchment paper or into a medium-sized bowl:

    • ½ Cup Yellow Cornmeal
    • ½ Cup All-Purpose Flour
    • 2 Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
    • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
    • ¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
    • 1⁄2 Teaspoon Salt

    Plus add an extra tablespoon of butter when melting the butter.

    Variations

    • Add Green Chiles and Taco Seasoning. Add a can of roasted green chiles that have been drained plus a packet of taco seasoning mix to make a Mexican cornbread casserole.
    • Add Green Onions. If you like savory but not spicy, add ½ cup of thinly sliced green onions to the batter.
    • Add Cheddar Cheese. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to make a cheesy corn casserole.

    Make-Ahead & Storage

    Leftover casserole can be stored in the refrigerator covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
