If you’ve never had a sweet corn bake, it’s sort of like a cross between creamed corn, corn pudding, and cornbread. The texture is creamy and smooth with crunch from the added corn. It goes with so many main dishes and it is a great Christmas or Thanksgiving side dish – just slice and serve! It really is a holiday staple.

Some people call it a Jiffy corn casserole recipe because it calls for a box of Jiffy mix. It is an easy recipe with only 5 ingredients – we couldn’t get enough of it. It’s going to be a star of our holiday table alongside my sausage stuffing.

Ingredients Needed

  • Corn: Whole kernel corn (frozen or fresh) and canned cream-style corn.
  • Jiffy Cornbread Mix: By using Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix you don’t have to worry about measuring flour and cornmeal and baking powder!
  • Buttermilk: Helps bind the recipe
  • Vegetable Oil: for moisture, melted butter may be substituted.

Variations

  • Add some spices, like smoked paprika or herbs, to spice it up.
  • I love adding green onions and jalapeños for a more savory corn bake.
  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top (or even pepper jack).

How to make Corn Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Stir together all ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into prepared casserole dish.
  3. Bake about 40 minutes, or until golden until a toothpick comes out clean.

Expert Tips

  • For this recipe, you can use either fresh or frozen corn. During the summer, when corn is in season, I love to use fresh. Just cut the kernels off of a cooked cob.
  • If you use frozen corn, make sure to thaw it.
  • You know it is done when it is golden brown and when a toothpick comes out clean!

Storing Corn Casserole

Store leftovers in the fridge or at room temperature covered in an airtight container for up to a week. Freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

FAQs

How long can a corn casserole sit out?

It’s fine if this sits out a few hours, but refrigerator it after that.

What is the texture of corn casserole?

It’s a combination of cornbread and pudding – gooey and rich!
