Jiffy Cornbread Casserole
This ridiculously simple Jiffy Cornbread Casserole takes just 10 minutes to prep and delivers creamy, sweet corn heaven. Perfect for family dinners, potlucks, and holiday tables.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, melted
- 1 whole kernel corn 15-oz can, drained completely
- 1 creamed corn 15-oz can, with liquid
- 1 cup sour cream full-fat works best
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Jiffy corn muffin mix 8-oz box
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the stick of butter in an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish and microwave for 30-45 seconds until completely melted. Brush the butter up the sides of the dish to prevent sticking.
- Drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly and add it to the buttered pan. Pour in the entire can of creamed corn with its liquid.
- Add the sour cream to the pan. Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the mixture.
- Pour the Jiffy corn muffin mix over everything in the pan.
- Using a sturdy spatula, stir everything together right in the pan. Make sure to scrape the bottom and corners. Mix until there are no dry pockets of cornbread mix. The batter will be lumpy and thick.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set. The casserole should move as one piece when gently shaken, not like a liquid. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set up properly.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Assemble up to 2 days ahead, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Let sit at room temperature 15-20 minutes before baking, adding 5 extra minutes to bake time.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat covered with foil at 300°F for 15-20 minutes.
Variations: Add 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy version, diced jalapeños for spice, or 2 beaten eggs for a fluffier, cake-like texture.
Slow Cooker Method: Spray slow cooker, add all ingredients, stir well. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours.
