    This Jiffy corn pudding recipe is an easy way to make Southern corn pudding with just a few minutes of prep. You basically combine a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix with a few other ingredients and bake.

    Some people call this easy side dish recipe spoon bread casserole or cream corn casserole. It's not as firm as cornbread or corn muffins -- you can scoop it with a spoon.

    Whatever you call this tasty side dish, this corn pudding casserole is just plain good! My family requests it for different holidays -- we usually serve it for Thanksgiving dinner along with sweet potato casserole, candied yams, stuffing and mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and green bean casserole. We sometimes have it as a side with Christmas dinner and on Easter, as well.

    I like to add Southwest flavors, so I toss in chile peppers and warm spices for more of a Mexican corn casserole. But, I'll give you the original Jiffy corn casserole recipe in the recipe card, and you can choose.

    jiffy corn muffin mix, can corn, can creamed corn, sour cream, butter, eggs, cheese, chiles and seasonings

    Ingredients

    You only need a few simple ingredients for this easy corn casserole recipe. If you don't have these pantry staples, you can find them in your grocery store.

    • Eggs
    • Jiffy corn muffin mix -- cornbread mix, either vegetarian or regular
    • Butter -- salted butter or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
    • Can creamed corn -- cream style corn
    • Can corn -- yellow or white whole kernel corn
    • Sour cream
    • Can diced green chiles -- (optional) Leave out for the original recipe
    • Spices -- salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin (optional) You can leave them out
    • Shredded cheese -- shredded cheddar cheese or cheddar blend (optional) Omit if you don't like cheese

    How to Make Jiffy Corn Pudding Casserole

    First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees f. Grease a 1 ½ to 2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

    Then, add eggs to a large bowl or large mixing bowl, and beat slightly with fork.

    I do this with almost all recipes that contain eggs. It helps them blend easier this way.

    Next, add the Jiffy mix, melted butter and both cans of corn, and stir until well blended. If you are using the chiles and seasonings, add them now.

    stir corn muffin mix and corn in mixing bowl

    Stir in the sour cream, and mix well. I use a fork or large spoon for the mixing.

    No need to use a hand mixer here.

    mix sour cream into corn mixture

    Pour the batter into a greased casserole dish. You can use a spatula to smooth the batter so that it's nice and even.

    The casserole batter will be thick, which is perfectly normal.

    Cook Time

    Place the corn casserole on the middle rack in the preheated oven. For a 2 quart casserole, bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out fairly clean.

    For a 1 ½ quart casserole, bake for 45 to 50 minutes. All ovens are different, so the cooking time may need to be increased until the casserole is done.

    If you are using a 9 x13 inch baking dish, check for doneness at 30 to 35 minutes.

    For cheesy corn casserole, sprinkle the cheese over the top of the casserole, and allow to bake for a couple of minutes longer until the cheese melts.

    FAQ

    How do you know when corn casserole is done?

    Insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole. You may have some crumbs on the toothpick, but it shouldn't be wet with batter. The center should also be fairly firm. It may jiggle a little bit, but it shouldn't look wet or move a lot. The top should be light golden brown.

    Is creamed corn the same as cream style corn?

    Yes. Creamed corn is just corn kernels in a creamy, milky liquid. Some brands call it cream style corn, while others call is creamed corn.

    How to Store and Reheat

    Refrigerate leftover corn pudding in an airtight container or cover the cooled baking dish with plastic wrap. It keeps well for up to 4 days. You can freeze the casserole for longer storage -- up to 3 months for best taste.

    The best way to reheat this easy corn casserole is in the microwave. This prevents it from drying out if baked a second time.

    Recipe Variations

    If you have a pressure cooker, you can make my Instant Pot corn casserole recipe. Saves oven space!

    For Taco corn casserole, follow my recipe as written. You can use chopped jalapeño peppers or poblano peppers in place of the green chiles.

    For Southern corn pudding casserole or the original cornbread casserole, omit the peppers and seasonings. Or, add salt and pepper only.

    You can use frozen corn, thawed, in place of the regular can of corn.
