How To Make A Jiffy Corn Pudding Casserole
Like so many recipes that I’ve posted on here, learning how to make your own Corn Pudding Casserole Recipe was a lot easier than I thought. The key to making this super easy is by simply using a box of jiffy corn muffin mix. This is so easy to use that you really can’t go wrong.
This recipe is really so easy! Just stir all the ingredients in a large bowl and then pour them in a prepared pan to bake in your oven. For step-by-step instructions, check out the printable recipe card below. But here is what you’ll need to get started:
- WHOLE KERNEL CORN – We use one can of corn kernels. Drained well.
- CREAMED CORN – Adds the soft, creamy texture of this dish.
- CORN MUFFIN MIX – The most important ingredient! This makes this recipe so easy! We love using Jiffy. But you can really use any brand.
- SOUR CREAM – You can use low-fat sour cream to lighten this dish up if you’d like.
- MILK – We used 2% milk. But you can use skim milk or whole milk as desired.
- WHITE SUGAR – Helps give the cornbread that delicious sweetness!
- BUTTER – Melted. You can use salted butter or unsalted butter.
- EGGS – 2 large eggs. Room temperature.
What Is The Difference Between Cornbread and Corn Casserole?
Cornmeal had been used for centuries by Native Americans and was introduced to European settlers. Cornbread was made popular around the Civil War when resources were scarce. Soldiers discovered how to take that raw cornmeal and make cheap bread out of it, resulting in Cornbread.
Corn Casserole is a mixture of cornbread ingredients with addition of some for of dairy (sour cream, butter or milk or all 3). These ingredients are combined and baked into a new dish that has become quite popular in the South and elsewhere in America.
Can Corn Pudding Casserole Be Made Ahead Of Time?
Yes! That is one of the great aspects of how versatile that this side dish is. If you are planning a big dinner party or another event, you can cook this recipe the day before. Just refrigerate it the night before and reheat it in the oven before your guests arrive. If you want your it to be super fresh, you can create the jiffy mix batter the night before and cook it as instructed on the day you want to serve it. You can serve warm, delicious and fresh for your guests!
Storage and Freezing
Corn casserole DOES need to be refrigerated. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. They should be good in your fridge for 4-5 days. This recipe reheats just fine in your microwave.
You can also freeze corn pudding casserole. Just let it fully cool and put it in a freezer bag or freezer safe container. It will be good in your freezer for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
Notes, Variations and FAQs
- ADD HEAT – Give this recipe some spiciness by adding diced jalapenos, chiles or pepper jack cheese in the mixture. Or, try this Jalapeno Cornbread!
- ADD CHEESE – You could also add other cheeses like cheddar cheese, monterey jack or even swiss.
- ADD BACON – Cook up some bacon until it is crispy and crumble it into your Jiffy Corn Casserole Recipe.
- WHAT SIZE DISH DO YOU BAKE CORN PUDDING IN? – Typically this goes into a 9×13 pan, but I wanted it to look different so I used this casserole dish. If you use a casserole dish you’ll need to cook it longer as it’s thicker in the pan. Typically 9×13 pan cooks for about 40-50 minutes. This dish shown cooked for 55 minutes. Just keep an eye on it and check by inserting a toothpick in the center to make sure it comes out clean.
We love our Le Creuset Casserole Dish because it comes with a lid! You can just keep your leftovers right in your baking dish in the fridge! Or, if you are looking to save a little money, this one works great too!

Phoebe says
Love love this simple recipe. Little green chopped chilies are perfect addition.
Kathy says
Thank you!
Denise says
Can this be made in a microwave since my oven broke?
Kathy says
I have not tried that. I would probably look for a recipe made for the microwave to be safe.
Sharon says
Can I omit the extra sugar?
Kathy says
Yes, it just won’t be as sweet but I have done it and it is still delicious!
Tanya Walker says
Is it always made with jiffy corn bread mix?
Kathy says
Any Cornbread mix should work.
Carol says
I’ve been making this for years, but have never added milk or sugar. I’ll bet that’s more of a warm dessert then. I’ll have to try.
Kathy says
Come back and let us know how you like it!
Don Joy says
I make this every Thanksgiving it’s always a hit. I never put sugar in it but I do put 1/2 cup cheddar cheese in it.
Dawn Prideaux says
Can it be made with Splenda instead of sugar?
Kathy says
We haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not.
Kim says
YES I use Splenda instead of regular white sugar and it’s delish !
Sandra Marion says
I just made this last night for Thanksgiving. It was super easy and it tastes yummy! I’m sure my son and grandkids will love it because they don’t like the traditional Thanksgiving sides. This recipe will be something that I will try all during the year. Next time I will try to add some fresh herbs to it or the cheese suggestion. Thank you!
Kathy says
I am so glad you enjoyed it and that your family enjoyed it too. Fresh herbs sounds wonderful!
Dana says
Can I fix ahead and bake the next day ?
Kathy says
Yes!
Christa says
How many people will these feed
Kathy says
About 6 people.
Michelle says
Can I freeze it? Thanks
Kathy says
Yes. I think it would freeze ok. You can freeze it all together or cut it into individual servings if you just want to thaw portions as you go.
Stephanie says
I made this with Pamela’s gluten free corn bread mix, Lactaid lactose free sour cream and lactose free milk. Delicious! I love finding recipes I can easily convert for my family with celiac disease and lactose intolerance.
Kathy says
Great suggestions! Thanks!
PAULA says
Delicious… combination of corn pudding and corn bread! Did not have creamed corn, so used only 1 can whole kernel corn; also adjusted to 2.5 T butter, 1/2 c sour cream, 1/4 C sugar and followed other ingredients. Turned out great! Served with crunchy salad and salmon cakes.
Kathy says
Great suggestions. Thanks for the comment!
Janette Brathwaite’s says
What is the replacement for sour cream
Kathy says
Are you asking what you could substitute instead of sour cream? If it’s a dairy issue you could use lactose free sour cream. Or if it’s a health issue you could sub greek yogurt.
Kristen Rungaitis says
Could I bake this longer at 325?
Kathy says
Sorry. We have not tried that. If you do, please come back and let us know how it turned out.
Peggy says
Quick and easy. My so loves corn pudding so I’m very excited to try this recipe as I lost mine in a move.
Tammi says
This recipe has sour cream in it, it is not shown as an ingredient added when making. I added it last. This is a delicious corn bread pudding!
Liliceye says
I followed your recipe word for word but only realized after I’d put it in the oven the ingredients call for sour cream but your directions don’t mention it so I forgot to put it in. You should fix that so other people don’t make the same mistake. Hopefully it’s still good without it. Hoping I didn’t waste my time and ingredients.
Nancy says
You asked for sour cream and never add it to the mixture. I did, but the recipe doesn’t mention adding it. And the sugar isn’t really needed. The corn bread mix is sweet enough without the additional sugar.
Kathy says
You are correct, we missed the sour cream step. Adding it in right now. Thank you!
Christina says
My family devoured this corn pudding. I had to make another one tonight. I will say, I prefer it to be baked immediately after mixing. The one we had tonight rose so much more than the one I prepared the night before and baked yesterday (Thanksgiving). I wonder if letting it sit out a bit to come to room temperature before baking would help? Either way we still loved it! It will always be a part of our holiday meals.
Debbie P. says
If I was to double the recipe, would a (2 – 2.5) qt. Baking dish work? How long would I need to bake it?? Same temp ?
Kathy says
I have done this and it takes about twice as long to bake, but be sure to check it.
marcia Schmitt says
Can I use a sweet cornbread mix and eliminate the sugar?
Kathy says
Yes!
Angela says
I’m so frustrated! I just realized that I accidentally left out the sour cream. How bad is this going to affect my casserole?
Kathy says
So sorry! No sure… How did it turn out?
Shelby says
I make this all the time and I eat most of it myself!
Kathy says
It’s one of our favorites. Always a hit!
Tracy says
Do you know what size pan and how long to cook a triple batch?
Kathy says
It would take awhile for a triple batch, my double batch took close to an hour to bake. I am not sure there is a pan big enough for a triple.
Miriam says
Can I divide the recipe in 2 batches, and bake it in 2qt baking pans?
Kathy says
Yes, but check the cook time. You might have to shorten it.
Jens Day says
The recipe calls for a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. But none of the pictures appear to be that size.
Kathy says
Thanks. I explain this in the FAQ section.
Kelsey says
Could I throw this in the crockpot?
Kathy says
I haven’t made it in the crockpot but I use my casserole crockpot to bake in the oven and then keep it warm using the crockpot. Let me see if I can find the link to the crockpot I am talking about. Here it is: https://amzn.to/484xST1
Kathy Smith says
I made this wonderful Corn Pudding Casserole for Thanksgiving and it was a BIG hit! My daughter just texted me for your recipe :-)) I have tried other recipes and have been disappointed but, this one is definitely a keeper. The only difference is that I used a 8 1/2″x11″ cake pan and baked it for 58 min. at 350 degrees. It was PERFECT!! Thanks for sharing.
Kathy says
Yay! Thanks for stopping by and the kind comment.
Kathy Smith says
Sorry! I forgot to mention that I used a can of Fiesta Corn instead of regular corn (it has the red and green peppers already in it).
Debbie says
I made this for dinner. I omitted the sugar. It was amazing.
