Ingredient Notes
- Whole kernel corn – When fresh corn is in season, you can slice it off the cobs and use that!
- Cream-style corn – Creates a creamy, rich base.
- Sour cream – Greek yogurt could also be used.
- Butter – Salted or unsalted butter will work just fine.
- Jiffy corn muffin mix – I love using this instead of flour! I always keep a box of Jiffy Corn muffin mix in my pantry.
Variations
- Cheesy Corn Casserole: Add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and sprinkle extra on top.
- Spicy Version: Stir in diced green chilies or jalapeños for heat.
- Extra Rich: Add 2 eggs for a more custard-like texture.
How to Make Corn Casserole
Making this buttery, comforting casserole is simple and requires only two steps!
1. Prepare and Mix: Add all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
2. Bake: Add to an 8×8 greased baking dish and bake in a 350-degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
Kasey’s Kitchen Testing Notes
- Pan Material Matters: During testing, an 8×8 metal baking pan baked about 5 to 7 minutes faster than ceramic or glassware. If you are using a heavy ceramic baking dish, plan on the full 50–55 minutes for the center to set properly.
- The “Jiggle” Doneness Test: In our test kitchen batches, the most common mistake was pulling the casserole out too early. Look for golden brown, puffed edges. A very slight wobble in the dead center is normal—as long as it isn’t liquid, it will firm up into a creamy, spoonable texture during its mandatory 10-minute rest on the counter.
- Drain vs. Undrained Corn: I tested this recipe with both drained and undrained whole kernel corn. You must drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly; leaving that canning liquid in makes the middle soupy. Keep the cream-style corn undrained for the necessary moisture.
- Doubling in a 9×13: When baking a double batch in a 9×13 pan for the holidays, increase the bake time to 55–60 minutes at 350°F.
Serving Suggestions
This corn casserole with creamed corn pairs perfectly with roasted meats, Honey Glazed Baked Ham, Roast Turkey, Air Fryer Chicken Fried Steak, or barbecue dishes. It’s also a must-have for holiday tables and potlucks.
How to Store Leftovers
- To Store: Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2–3 days.
- To Reheat: Warm in the oven or microwave until heated through.
- To Freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
To double this recipe, combine 2 boxes of Jiffy mix with double the remaining ingredients and bake in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish at 350°F (175°C) for 55 to 60 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Sure! Cover it tightly with foil and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to bake it, just add it to the oven at 350 degrees and bake until heated through and steaming hot. Until you bake it, store it in the refrigerator!
Corn casserole uses a boxed corn muffin mix (like Jiffy) to create a fluffy, spoonable cornbread texture. Classic corn pudding relies on eggs, milk, and cornstarch for a richer, custard-like consistency without added flour mix.
If your corn casserole is runny in the center, return it to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Always ensure you thoroughly drain the whole kernel corn before mixing, and allow the baked casserole to rest for 10 minutes on the counter to fully set before serving.

Made this with dinner and will definitely make it again. It was so easy!
So easy and SOOOOO delicious. One of my favorite side dishes ever.
I’d love to know how long you cook it for if you double the recipe and put it in a 9×13 dish? I’ve made a single recipe, and the only thing different in mine is I add about a cup of cheddar cheese.
Sorry! I just went back to the post and saw that you have already answered this question. Thank you!
Ok, so I need to read more slowly bc you didn’t answer the question about how long to cook it when doubling the recipe. Does that mean the cook time remains the same?
I doubled the amount how long do I bake for?
LOVE this recipe. Made it over the holidays and now making it again now for Easter. Definitely a keeper. Easy to make.
Thank you, Linda! It’s definitely a staple in our holiday lineup as well!
