How to Make Corn Casserole
Ingredients are easy to find. You probably have most of them in your pantry already.
Begin by melting a stick of butter or margarine. I put it on a microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds. It melts perfectly.
Next, in a large bowl combine 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix, 1 cup sour cream, 1 can of sweet creamed corn, 1 can of drained whole kernel corn. Add melted butter or margarine and stir until mixed well.
Finally, pour mixture into a greased 9X13X2 baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden and set. The texture should be like light cornbread, but moist inside. Remove from oven, serve and enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- Corn Casserole Without Butter – Prepare recipe as directed but omit butter. The result will be a tasty dish that has a slightly more cornbread texture and a little less creamy. Making it without butter helps to make it a low calorie and low fat dish.
- Vegetarian Corn Casserole – Substitute Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix with Jiffy Vegetarian Corn Muffin Mix 8.5 oz. box.
- Gluten-Free Corn Casserole – Substitute Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Cornbread Mix or King Arthur Gluten Free Cornbread Mix. Measure 1 1/2 cups of mix to equal amount in 8.5 oz. box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.
- Low Calorie Corn Casserole – Use fat free sour cream and omit butter. Texture will be more like a light cornbread instead of cream, but it is delicious and healthy!
- Mexican Street Corn Casserole – Use Southwestern whole kernel corn instead of plain whole kernel corn and use Mexican corn bread mix instead of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. Additionally, add 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese. Bake as directed for 50 minutes until set.
- Chicken Bacon Ranch Corn Casserole – Add one or two cups chopped rotisserie chicken, 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon or bacon bits, and 1 package ranch dressing. Bake as directed for 50 minutes until set.
