This corn casserole is one of the easiest side dishes you can serve with any meal using Jiffy corn muffin mix! Using only 5 ingredients, this corn casserole recipe does not disappoint!
Corn casserole is one of my favorite holiday sides or during any time of the year. It is the easiest side dish recipe to throw together and serve next to other holiday staples like turkey, ham, potatoes, and Jell-O salad. Simple ingredients like canned corn and Jiffy cornbread mix makes the recipe even easier. It's SO good!
You only need 5 ingredients (6 if you want to include the cheese)! All are easy to find in your grocery store.
Gather these ingredients:
Jiffy cornbread mix (8 oz. box)
Corn (15 oz. can)
Cream corn (15 oz. can)
Butter (4 tablespoons)
Sour cream (1 cup)
Shredded cheddar (optional)
You can vary the flavor by simply mixing in a few more ingredients like green chiles (for a kick) or different kind of cheeses.

👩🏽🍳 Variations
In my opinion, corn casserole and corn pudding can be interchangeable in titles. However, I have a slow cooker corn pudding recipe that I serve by scooping with a spoon like pudding. It's a creamier consistency than this corn casserole. However, in some regions corn casserole and corn pudding are considered the same thing.
Some people like to top their corn casserole with cheese, but I like to stir it into the mix instead. You can also leave out the cheese altogether. It's really just a preference thing, so you can decide. I just don't like to cover up the yummy crackly corn bread with greasy looking melted cheese. But, hey, I'm not going to try and sway your opinion. 🙂
Mix green chiles into your corn casserole or a mixture of different kinds of cheeses. You might also try stirring in ground sausage to make it a breakfast casserole!
It only takes 5 minutes to mix the 5-6 ingredients together and the rest is just waiting for it to bake! You can bake this in a square baking pan or a 2-quart baking dish. If you want thinner slices, bake in a 9x13 for a little less time.

Notes
You can bake for a shorter time in a 9x13, but the texture will be different than baking in the 9x9 or 2 quart casserole. The 9x13 will be thin slices where the 2 quart casserole produces more of a corn pudding. Either way is delicious.
