Cheesy Jiffy Corn Casserole [+Video]

Corn casserole is a comfort food side dish that never gets old. It goes great with chili, soup, grilled chicken or fajitas. It’s totally versatile, cheesy, packed with corn and SOOOOO easy!

When I was in jr high our church had a chili cook off and a woman brought two different kinds of cornbread. Both were the best I’d ever had but upon asking her to share the recipes (clearly I was born to be a food blogger), she declined. She said she didn’t give out her recipes! Rude! Ok, maybe not rude but it really was an awkward moment for me. I felt almost shame for having asked her.

Can we just pause for a moment and talk about not sharing recipes? Why is that a thing? Maybe I have blinders on because I share recipes for a living, but why wouldn’t you share a recipe? Boggles my mind.

Ok, I digress…back to cornbread casserole…

Many years ago, and you may be surprised to hear this, but I did summer sales for an alarm company. A woman fed me some of her cornbread and then OFFERED me the recipe! That’s the way it should be! Jiffy cornbread casserole is a treasured recipe in our house and chances are, your mom probably made it growing up too!

Whether you are sitting down to a bowl of our award winning instant pot chili or a serving of our classic BBQ grilled chicken, this cornbread casserole is the perfect side dish! I just know you’re going to love it!

Ingredients for Corn Casserole Recipe

Corn casserole is similar to cornbread, but it’s a little more dense and includes cheese! Here is everything you will need:

• Butter: adds richness and flavor
• Corn: adds texture and real corn flavor, use fresh corn cut off the cob, frozen corn (thaw first), or canned corn (drained)
• Creamed Corn: Grab a 14.75oz can from the vegetable aisle.
• Garlic Powder: adds flavor
• Eggs: gives the casserole its structure
• Sour Cream: adds moisture and rich flavor
• Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix: you can find it by the other muffin and cake mixes
• Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese: We are loyal to Tillamook!
