Jiffy Cornbread Casserole

This cornbread casserole is, hands down, my favorite rich and indulgent holiday side dish. Already a huge fan of creamed corn and sweet cornbread, it’s no wonder that I can’t get enough of this perfectly savory sweet casserole.

Often called corn casserole or corn pudding, cornbread casserole is a popular dish in Southern and Midwestern American cuisine. Made with creamed corn and whole corn kernels, it has a creamy, pudding-like texture. The creamed corn gives it just the right amount of moisture, while the whole corn kernels prevent it from becoming soggy.

The best part of this dish, however, is how simple and easy it is to make – only five minutes of prep and thirty minutes in the oven.

Ingredients needed to make Jiffy cornbread casserole in individual measuring cups and ramekins.

How to Make Cornbread Casserole

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat to 375°F and grease a 9×9-inch casserole dish.

2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cornbread mix, corn, cream of corn, butter, sour cream, buttermilk, sugar, and salt until well combined. Avoid overmixing.

3. Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

4. Cool: Remove it from the oven and allow it to rest until you are ready to serve.

Recipe Tips

  • Sweetness: In general, cornbread casserole recipes can vary significantly in sweetness. Adjust the amount of sugar added to suit your own personal taste and preference.
  • Add-Ins: Some of the most popular mix-ins include shredded cheese (pepper Jack, sharp cheddar cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese), crumbled bacon, canned green chilies, or diced jalapeño peppers. Sometimes, you’ll even see recipes with taco seasoning, ground beef mixture, rotel, or black beans.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing results in a dense casserole. Mix the ingredients just until the ingredients are combined.

What to Serve with Cornbread Casserole

Cornbread casserole is my favorite holiday side dish. Richer and moister than cornbread with a somewhat creamy consistency, it offers all the warm and comforting flavor of sweet buttered corn. From turkey with gravy to prime rib with au jus, it’s the perfect southern side dish.

But cornbread casserole isn’t just for the holidays. You can enjoy this easy recipe year-round, too. Pair it with saucy barbecue favorites like pulled pork, brisket, or ribs. Or, swap regular butter biscuits for this casserole when making your next batch of crispy fried chicken.

Storage and Reheating

  • Storage: Allow any leftover cornbread casserole to cool before storing and transfer to an airtight container. Transfer to the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: For long-term storage, up to 2-3 months, wrap leftovers in plastic wrap before transferring them to a freezer-safe ziplock bag and placing them in the freezer.
  • Reheating: You can reheat from frozen or allow the casserole to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheating from frozen will require additional time. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until it’s warmed through. You may also microwave, but it may change the texture of the dish.
