A creamy, cheesy corn casserole made with Jiffy mix, sour cream, and sharp cheddar. Perfect for cozy evenings and holiday gatherings, this easy side dish comes together in minutes and delivers rich, comforting flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boxes (8.5 oz each) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) creamed corn, undrained
  • 1 can (15.25 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine both boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix with salt and pepper. Whisk to break up lumps.
  3. Add creamed corn (undrained), drained whole kernel corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. Batter should be thick and creamy.
  4. Reserve ½ cup of shredded cheddar for topping. Fold remaining 1½ cups into the batter gently, leaving some cheese pockets.
  5. Pour batter into prepared dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved cheddar on top.
  6. Bake on middle rack for 45-55 minutes, until top is golden brown, edges pull away from dish, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  7. Let casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Shred your own cheese for best melting. Let ingredients come to room temperature for 20 minutes before starting. For a spicier version, add diced green chiles, cumin, and cayenne. For a lighter version, use reduced-fat sour cream, substitute two egg whites for one egg, and reduce butter to ¼ cup. Casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if starting cold. Leftovers keep in refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
