Make this easy Jiffy Cornbread Mix Corn Casserole Recipe for family gatherings and holidays. It’s a quick and easy side dish for Thanksgiving!
Most families have some sort of Thanksgiving tradition. Over the past few years, our traditions have had to adapt to changes in our family. Sometimes we’re all together, and sometimes we’re not. One tradition that has held fast is our menu. Call us boring, but we haven’t changed it for years! We serve turkey, bread stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, green bean casserole, and Jiffy corn casserole. (Definitely carb overload!) Today I’m sharing our Jiffy Cornbread Mix Corn Casserole Recipe just in case you have never had it.

Jiffy Cornbread Mix Corn Casserole Recipe
When I first started going to Thanksgiving dinners at the Drakes, they served a dish called Corn Pudding. It was always a challenge getting it done in the middle without burning it along the edges. Some years we never did get the middle done! Somewhere along the line, my husband’s aunt got tired of the corn pudding drama every year, and started making the version featured below. Talk about making the day easier…this is really the perfect side dish to any Thanksgiving dinner, and it tastes amazing.
Corn Casserole Recipe Tips:
- When I make a single recipe, I use my favorite pie plate. Using a flatter vessel helps the casserole bake more evenly. When I need a double recipe, like on Thanksgiving, it works best to use a 9 x 13 oblong pan.
- If baked in a square (8 x 8) or oblong (9 x 13) pan, the casserole can be cut into squares and served like cornbread. It’s delicious with chili, or any kind of hearty soup.
- If, by some chance, you have any corn casserole left over, it’s best to reheat it in the oven. Using the microwave just doesn’t work as well. To reheat: Place the corn casserole on a large piece of foil, fold up, and seal. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Don’t reheat the casserole in the baking dish. The bits of casserole left on the dish burn and stick to the pan. It’s a bear to clean!
| Prep Time | 10 minutes |
| Cook Time | 45 minutes |
| Passive Time | 5 minutes |
| Servings | 6 people |
- 1 box Jiffy Cornbread Mix
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup butter melted
- 8 oz. container sour cream
- 1 can regular kernel corn drained
- 1 can creamed corn
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
Ingredients
| |
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the eggs in a large bowl and whip slightly with a fork.
- Add melted butter, sour cream, and both cans of corn. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add Jiffy Cornbread mix. Stir until it's completely mixed in to the corn mixture.
- Pour into large buttered casserole dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes, uncovered.
- When done, top will be golden and edges will be slightly cracked. Middle should be firm to the touch. (Not jiggly.)
Recipe can easily be doubled and still cooks evenly. We use a double recipe every Thanksgiving. A double recipe will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours to bake, depending on the type of casserole dish used.
Making a change to your Thanksgiving menu can be a little nerve wracking…but if you decide to try out this Jiffy Cornbread Mix Corn Casserole Recipe you won’t be sorry!

Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 3:53 amMade creamed corn from fresh ears in the pressure cooker so I could omit the sugar and flour. Then added it with the other ingredients called for in this recipe (substituting a tbsp or 2 of plain whole-fat yogurt for that much of the sour cream since my tub was just shy of 8 oz.) in a round 2 qt. glass dish. Tasted amazing! Great texture too! Would definitely serve this to guests. Partner loved it. Will be making again! :)

Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 10:05 amThis is one of my favorite recipes I’ve been making for years. We use a can of Mexicorn (corn with peppers in it) instead of the whole kernel corn and add a small can of chopped green chilies and a cup of shredded cheese and it’s amazing. I keep meaning to add some chopped onion to it too, but always forget or don’t have onion at the time.

Sunday, July 15, 2018 at 7:52 pmI can attest that this recipe is amazing. I have made it for many years and everyone loves it. How can you go wrong with sour cream?

Sunday, July 15, 2018 at 7:50 pmI love all of your recipes but my husband’s favorite will be the Jiffy Cornbread casserole. I’m anxious to make it but I will not wait until Thanksgiving. As soon as our weather cools down enough to heat the oven, it will be on our menu. Thank you for wonderful inspiration!

I really enjoy this website! It is so classy! You have my taste down to a science. You are no nonsense. It’s like reading a good book that you can’t put down.
Thankyou.

Saturday, November 11, 2017 at 9:42 amOh boy, now I am in trouble! Last Thanksgiving while cleaning up, I realized that my sweet potato dish had exactly two fans, me and my cousin’s wife. Out of 10 of us. Right then and there I decided I need a replacement dish. Sailor and I have been roasting butternut squash, but it just doesn’t have the wow factor. I settled on a broccoli casserole, and will be taste testing in today. But now I am looking at this corn dish…I can’t wait to try this one too! Thank you for all the inspiration you ‘dish out’ on such a wonderful, consistent basis! Congratulations on the new little one!!

Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 11:11 pmYou are so right, this is a delicious recipe and one I made just this past weekend to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday. Everyone loved it and there were no leftovers. I like that you prepared yours in a pie plate…very pretty. I sometimes double it as well and it turns out beautifully.
Jeanie says
Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 10:13 pmwe call it corn bake and we love it~~
Ann Drake says
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 8:13 amYes! My own mother used to call it scalloped corn.
Karen says
Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 8:52 amThe presentation in the scalloped pie dish is a great idea.

Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 10:55 pmThis sounds delicious! One quick question…what size cans of corn?
Ann Drake says
Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 8:38 amCanned vegetables are no longer all the same size. Plus they are smaller than they used to be. The kernel corn is actually a different size than the creamed corn. They are both around 15 oz. One is slightly over and one is slightly under. I don’t have the cans anymore to look!
Cindy Kline says
Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 9:13 amThanks, Ann! Can’t wait to make it! Love your blog.
Nilda says
Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 9:32 pmQuestion: Can this be put together a day ahead and baked day of? Thanks!
Ann Drake says
Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 8:39 amHi Nilda! I have never tried that. I don’t know if the mixture would hold up overnight or not. It really only takes a minute to put together on the day of. If you decide to give it a go, let us know how it comes out!
Nilda says
Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 2:59 pmThanks for your reply. I did go online and it says you can prepare a day ahead. My problem is that my husband will have to heat up and take to a pot luck that I can’t attend. I’ll let you know how it comes out.
Julie says
Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 8:44 pmGreat minds think alike! I have been making this for years. It is easy and always a hit.
