Corn Casserole

Here is a from-scratch version of the classic corn casserole, a popular holiday side dish in the southeastern United States that is traditionally made using store-bought Jiffy cornbread mix. If you’ve never had corn casserole before, you’re really missing out: It’s like an incredibly moist cornbread studded with fresh corn kernels. (Frozen corn can be used in the cold weather months.) Two pounds of corn kernels are bound together with a simple batter of flour, baking powder, cornmeal, Cheddar, eggs, melted butter and sour cream, then poured into a baking pan, topped with more cheese, and baked until bubbly. Fresh rosemary and scallions, untraditional and optional additions, add savory notes that balance out the sweetness of the corn.

About this Recipe

Looking for that quintessential comforting side dish that's both easy to prepare and incredibly flavorful? This Best Corn Casserole recipe delivers a delightful cross between a rich corn pudding and classic cornbread, making it a perfect addition to any meal, from holiday feasts to weeknight dinners.

What makes this baked corn casserole truly shine is the thoughtful combination of a convenient Jiffy corn muffin mix with two distinct types of corn: tender frozen corn and luscious creamed corn. This pairing ensures a layered texture and an intense, sweet corn flavor that stands out. The addition of whole milk and heavy cream contributes to a wonderfully moist, custardy interior, ensuring every bite is rich and satisfying.

You can expect a dish with a uniquely comforting profile—tender, almost spoonable, with a subtle sweetness balanced by savory notes. The Jiffy mix provides that familiar, slightly crumbly cornbread texture, while the creamed corn adds a velvety smoothness that truly melts in your mouth. This casserole is designed to be straightforward, requiring minimal prep work for a result that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. It's a truly crowd-plepleasing side that's both hearty and refined.

While this recipe is excellent as written, you can easily adapt it to your taste. For a less sweet profile, slightly reduce the granulated sugar. If you enjoy a touch of heat, a small pinch of cayenne pepper can be added alongside the sweet paprika for a subtle kick. The fresh sliced chives are a fantastic garnish for brightness, but chopped green onions or parsley would also be lovely.

This versatile corn casserole is an ideal accompaniment for a variety of occasions. Serve it warm alongside roasted chicken, holiday ham, or classic barbecue for a truly memorable and comforting spread.
