CORN CASSEROLE
Corn Casserole is buttery and creamy on the inside, with a soft golden crust and optional cheese on top. A casserole that belongs on your Thanksgiving dinner table next to Roast Turkey or Slow Cooker Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Mashed Cauliflower, Roasted Carrots, Green Bean Casserole, Sausage Meat Stuffing, Dinner Rolls, Brussels Sprouts…the list goes on!
A staple at most American dinner tables and pretty much the easiest side dish you can make — well besides cheesy green beans.
HOW TO MAKE CORN CASSEROLE
If you’ve never tried homemade corn casserole before, you are going to fall in love with how quick, easy and delicious this buttery casserole is.
I wasn’t kidding when I said 5 ingredients is all you need:
- Jiffy cornbread muffin mix
- Corn kernels (fresh, frozen or canned)
- Creamed corn
- Sour cream
- Melted butter
Prepare it in advance, cover and refrigerate it so you can bake it on the BIG day!
WHAT DOES CORN CASSEROLE TASTE LIKE
The creamed corn shines through in this recipe with a hint of sweetness, mixed with a buttery flavour thanks to the sour cream. Its texture is similar to that of a corn soufflé but not as fluffy or high as one.
The thing is, when you first pull it out of the oven, you expect a cake as it looks like one, but it is so soft and creamy on the inside, just as a pudding should be.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
Cheese — Mozzarella, Cheddar, Provolone or Monterey Jack work really well here and taste amazing with this casserole.
Chives — or sliced green onions.
Herbs — Rosemary, thyme or parsley are popular choices.
Bacon — If serving with bacon, you can fry it up while the corn casserole is in the oven and sprinkle it over the top when its done. You could also mix the bacon into the batter if you want bacon pieces on the inside.

Oh yumm. This is very good. I don’t think I’ve ever had this. Is this like Spoon Bread? I love it.
Is there any alternative we can use if corn muffin or bread mix is not available. Really want to try this dish as I live your recipes
Even better than I imagined. SO good. I think of it as Triple Corn Casserole and have just baked my first one – of many to come I’m sure! Like other comments – this will be a good base for creativity in the kitchen also! Thanks so much for the recipe. Genius!
This is a great recipe as is. I’ve also added 1/4″ cubes of Colby/Jack cheese & some chopped roasted jalapenos to the batter, baked as directed, then topped the entire casserole with pulled pork, shredded Colby/Jack, the back in the oven for 5 minutes or so to melt cheese. Today I’m trying the same “one pan” style with pulled BBQ chicken. Love the casserole as is & enjoy changing it up to a complete meal! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I need to make this for 15 people. If I double the recipe, will it fit in a 9×13 pan still and will it set up correctly? or do I need to do it in two pans? Does the cooking time change?
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was great! Everyone loved it. Can I mix the cheese into the mixture before baking rather than on top? I think it would make it more cheesy. Thanks!
Yes, I do both
I made this for dinner last night. Oh my! It’s absolutely delicious and so easy.
Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
That sounds great! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing with me! XO
