Tips for Making Cornbread Casserole with Jiffy
- Use salted butter. If unsalted is all you have on hand, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.
- Adjust the sweetness. Feel free to reduce the amount of sugar or omit it completely, especially if you use fresh kernels. These are typically sweeter than canned, so be sure to sweeten to taste.
- Don’t overbake! It’s not a cornbread cake, so it will still be a little wet when it’s done. The texture should be thicker than pudding and creamier than a cake.
- Sour cream substitute: Plain yogurt is a great replacement. You can use any variety of thickness for this dish.
- Feeding a crowd? Easily double this cornbread casserole recipe and prepare it in a larger pan.
Add-In Ideas
The flavor options for cornbread casserole are limitless! You can add shredded cheese, a can of green chiles, or jalapeños to taste.
Savory bacon can help balance the sweetness, or try including your favorite aromatics like herbs, onion, and garlic.
Or, toss in some seasoning! Cayenne or chili powder will add straight heat, while cumin and a little smoked paprika can create a Mexican twist for your Jiffy corn casserole.
Cornbread Casserole Recipe FAQ
There isn’t a good substitute for the can of creamed style, but you can easily substitute 1 ½ cups of defrosted kernels for the can of sweet kernels.
One 8-ounce package yields about 1 ½ cups of dry mix.
There’s no need to measure for this Jiffy corn casserole recipe, but be sure to follow that amount if you end up using a different brand.
Absolutely! Simply prepare as directed, bake, and refrigerate until it’s time to reheat.
If you’ll be serving guests, I recommend making Jiffy corn casserole no more than a day or two in advance for the best flavor.
Storing and Reheating Jiffy Cornbread Casserole
Once cooled, cover leftovers tightly or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat Jiffy cornbread casserole in the oven or warm individual portions in the microwave. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Enjoy!

Donna’s Notes
If you prefer your corn less sweet you can cut the sugar in the recipe or eliminate it completely. If you are using fresh sweet corn, you can sweeten to taste. Canned corn is generally less sweet than really good sweet corn. If you are using unsalted butter add 1 teaspoon of salt. You can substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream. You can substitute 1 ½ cups defrosted frozen corn for the canned corn. You can double the recipe, just bake in a 9″x13″ baking pan. Add ins are limitless! You can add shredded cheese, a can of green chiles or jalapenos to taste. Think of bacon, your favorite aromatics like herbs, onions and garlic. There are so many options! You can make this ahead and reheat it.

WHERE is the video? I don’t see it in this posting.
The picture of the casserole dish above does not look like a square 8 by 8 pan that the recipe calls for. Maybe it is just the picture but what size does it take for this casserole?
She said further down if you double the recipe use a 9 X 13. she probably doubled it.
Can you make this in a crockpot?
I like to make this once a week because it’s so easy to do after a long work day! Way less dishes to clean up too.
Two questions, do you drain the whole corn and do you grease the pan?
Hi Lyn,
Yes, you drain the can of whole corn as written in the recipe. Also, step one of the instructions states to butter your baking dish. Hope this clears things up for you 🙂 Have a wonderful day!

Wonderful and so easy to make! I did double the sugar. Tasty and not sweet. Good corn flavor and a substitute when fresh corn on the cob isn’t in season. Perfect side dish and filling. I will make this again!
