Creamed Corn Casserole {with Jiffy Cornbread Mix!}
Creamed Corn Casserole is a cheesy corn pudding casserole recipe made with Jiffy mix. This baked creamy corn casserole makes a great side dish for holidays and quick weeknight dinners!
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!

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.
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 – Mix. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir them together until well combined.
Step 3 – Bake. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 45 minutes.
Step 4 – Rest. When you take the casserole out of the oven make sure to give it about 10 minutes to cool and firm up before serving.

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.
- Mix everything together just like you do for the baked version.
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray. Pour the mix into the Crock Pot.
- Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on High or 5-6 hours on Low.
You’ll know the casserole is ready when the center is set.
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.
Can I Freeze Corn Casserole?
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.
How to Reheat Creamed Corn Casserole
To reheat you leftovers you can either place the whole casserole in the oven or heat individual slices in the microwave.
Oven – Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and then reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.

I love the make ahead tips. It looks delicious!
I made a similar corn casserole for Easter yesterday, but without the cheese. What kind of Wisconsin girl am I to leave out the most important ingredient??? I’ll making this recipe for SURE!
Loved creamed corn as a child. This looks delicious! And easy to transport for those pot-luck dinners!
I love a good corn casserole recipe.
This is such a great idea, I love creamed corn. Can’t wait to give this a go!
I juuuust love creamed corn but I’ve never had it in a casserole. This looks just divine and creamy and comforting. NOM
This looks pure comfort food.. Yum! I love how easy this is to make. My kids would feast over this.. saving this for later. yum!
i have never heard or tried anything like this…but it sounds soo comforting!
I love the make ahead tips. It looks delicious!
Adding egg is a great idea to fluff it up more – I like this casserole when others have made it, but when it’s sorta flat it bums me out!
This is one of my favorite things to make. I love the creaminess, and the texture of the corn, and I really appreciate that whenever I make it for a get together, It’s completely devoured. One of my favorite mix-ins is a can of diced green chilies. YUM!!
It’s been years since I’ve had creamed corn! I hated it as a child, but I think it’s about time I give it another try and this recipe is the perfect re-introduction.
Sour cream. I made a version of this myself, a while ago, on the spur of the moment – and it wasn’t quite as creamy as I hoped. I bet sour cream is what I needed! Have to try it again. (And I bet that is popular at potlucks…)
I haven’t had corn casserole since I lived on the south and now I’m completely craving it! It looks so easy to make, especially for a holiday, and I love that it travels well!
This looks really yummy! I can’t wait to try your recipe for a potluck!
This corn casserole will be a perfect side dish for our upcoming bbq party! Cant wait try try!
What a great casserole. The ingredients are all in my cupboard and I can’ wait to get this in the oven.
I have never tried this dish before but it looks fantastic. And I just want to reach in a take a bite from your pictures!
I had this at a potluck the other night and it was great. Glad I found the recipe! Pan went home empty, too.
It is always a winner!! 🙂
Good
This recipe was requested by my mother for Thanksgiving.
This is such a great idea, I love creamed corn. Can’t wait to give this a go!
What if I don’t have corn bread mix in a box?
You can use a homemade cornbread recipe you just wouldn’t add the liquids the recipe adds you only need the mix of dry ingredients
such a delicious dish, loved this, surely gonna try this. Thanks for giving the Print-Out option.
We really enjoyed this. I didn’t have any sour cream so I substituted softened jalapeño cream cheese.
My in-laws are from Iowa and are still there. I definitely learned a lot about corn from them since their parents were all corn farmers. Sounds like a wonderful trip, and I’m glad you got to visit the corn state again! 🙂
This is such a great idea, I love creamed corn. Can’t wait to give this a go!
