This easy Creamed Corn Casserole goes by many other names such as corn pudding casserole, creamy corn casserole, and cornbread casserole. It is one of those classic casserole recipes that every family has their own recipe for and they are all a little different.

I usually make cornbread from scratch for my southern cornbread dressing and jalapeno cheddar cornbread. But for this recipe we’re saving time with Jiffy cornbread mix. It’s sweeter than the cornbread I usually make and it gives you that classic corn pudding flavor!

ingredients for Creamed Corn Casserole

There are lots of recipes for corn pudding out there but what they all have in common is corn, both creamed and whole kernel, cornbread mix (usually Jiffy brand), some kind of cream whether is is heavy cream or sour cream, and butter. My version has eggs and sharp cheddar cheese in it too! The egg helps the casserole to fluff up a little as it bakes which gives it a creamy, fluffy texture, and cheese just makes everything better!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Jiffy Cornbread mix – Jiffy corn muffin mix is a blend of yellow cornmeal, all purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. You can make your own cornbread mix if you prefer but this makes it so easy!
  • Whole Kernel Corn – To keep this recipe simple we always use canned sweet corn with whole corn kernels for this. Buy a little extra and try this Cheesy Corn Dip or Roasted Corn and Jalapeno Dip
  • Creamed Corn – We have a homemade creamed corn recipe HERE or you can buy canned cream style corn or frozen creamed corn at the store.
  • Sour Cream – Full fat sour cream gives you the best results.
  • Butter – Use salted butter to the most flavor.
  • Cheddar Cheese – You can use mild or sharp, white or yellow cheddar. Whatever you like best!
  • Eggs – Eggs add a little extra fluff and rise to the casserole.

Variations on Corn Casserole

I’m giving you the standard corn casserole recipe but you can make it your own by adding or substituting a few ingredients. Give a few of the add-ins below and try and let us know what you think!

  • Bacon
  • Ham
  • Jalapeno
  • Green Onion
  • Other cheeses – mozzarella, Parmesan, gruyere, provolone

What is the Difference Between Corn and Cream Style Corn?

There is a difference between corn and cream style corn. Creamed corn, also called cream style corn is a mixture of corn that has been partially pureed, sugar, and starches to help thicken it slightly.

If you make your own homemade creamed corn it will have milk or cream in it as well but if you’re purchasing a canned version like we recommend for this recipe there is not usually any milk.

Corn is just that, kernels of corn that have been canned.

It also makes a delicious addition to any weeknight dinner served alongside bbq pork chops or slow cooker BBQ pulled pork, or some Instant Pot salsa chicken.

How to Make It in the Crock Pot or Slow Cooker

You can make this casserole in a slow cooker if you like. We recommend you double the recipe for a 4 -6 quart slow cooker.

  1. Mix everything together just like you do for the baked version.
  2. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray. Pour the mix into the Crock Pot.
  3. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on High or 5-6 hours on Low.

How to Double the Recipe

If you’re serving a crowd you can double this recipe by simply doubling all of the ingredients. You will need to add 10-15 minutes to the bake time.

This will give you a thicker casserole that can serve more people without having to fit two casserole dishes in the oven.

Can I Make it Ahead of Time?

Baked Creamed Corn Casserole is great for taking places when you are on-the-go. It is quick and easy to make, it travels really well (no worrying about spills in the car on the way to grandma’s house!), and you can serve it at room temperature so you don’t have to worry about heating it up. It’s one of my go-to holiday casserole recipes for taking to holiday parties and potlucks.

  • Fully cooked: Make it according to the to the recipe up to 2 days ahead of time. Let cool complete then cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. Before serving remove plastic wrap and heat in 300 degrees F. oven for 20-30 minutes or until warmed through.
  • Unbaked: You can store it in the refrigerator unbaked up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. When ready to use remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature then bake according to recipe instructions.

You can freeze your fully baked casserole. Bake as instructed in a freezer safe baking dish and then let it cool completely.

Wrap the baking dish in 2 layers of plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil. Place in the freezer and freeze up to 2 months.

If you don’t have a freezer safe baking dish you can remove the cooled casserole from your baking dish and place it in an airtight container to store it in the freezer.
