Happy New Year to all of our friends at Made From Pinterest!
We hope that you all had an amazing holiday season and that you are looking forward to the upcoming new year. It is always exciting to think about what the new year has in store!
One of my favorite things about the holidays being over is that everything slows down. It is winter (meaning COLD where we live!), it gets dark early and there’s not much better on a cold winter night than a family gathered around the dinner table to share a meal. It’s one of my absolute favorite things.
One of our favorite side dishes to have when we sit down together is this simple 5 Ingredient Corn Casserole. This dish is so simple, it’s nearly impossible to mess up.
Here’s the 5 ingredients:
1. 1 can of corn
2. 1 can of creamed corn
3. 1 cup of sour cream
4. 1 stick of butter
5. 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
Easy, right?
You’re going to throw all of those ingredients in a bowl and mix them up. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
What comes out is an amazingly creamy side dish that is the perfect complement to just about any meal. We like eating this with everything from Mexican dishes to classics like lasagna or meatloaf.
And what’s better? Even the kids love it. You can’t beat that!
Family memories made in winter often have much to do with food–the time spent together preparing and eating it. This dish is truly winter-time comfort food for our family. We hope that it becomes a favorite for your family, too!
5 Ingredient Corn Casserole
1 (8 ounce) box Jiffy Corn Muffin mix

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cook uncovered for 50 minutes or until lightly browned.
Enjoy!

Thanks Julie and Maddie! This is a favorite in our household too! I love it when easy and good come together. This is perfect comfort food for the long cold days ahead.
I don’t have the jiffy cornbread mix but I do have two envelopes of corn kits. Can I use one of those?
I had to look up what a Corn Kit was to answer your question. We don’t have those in my neck of the woods. Or maybe we do and I have not found them! I think it would work fine, Melissa. Jiffy Corn Bread mix is 8.5 ounces, while it looks to me like Corn Kits are 6 ounces. You might want to add 3 tablespoons of flour or cornmeal to balance that out (1 Tablespoon = 1/2 ounce), but even without it I think the difference will be negligible. Enjoy the Corn Casserole! We love hearing from you.
I have made this and added a can of shoepeg corn and I drained the corn. I really like your recipe! Thanks!
Oooh! That sounds good! Isn’t this a great dish?
Sherri: i had 2 pkg of Corn Kits so I measured out the equivalent of 1 jiffy mix and it was delicious. I am preparing one right this minute to take to my parents this afternoon. This time I bought Jiffy mix. We’re having pulled pork sandwiches, smoked potatoe salad and this delicious corn casserole. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Awesome! Food and family are the winning combination. I want to come for dinner. Bad. Julie and Maddie know their stuff!
I see that in your list of ingredients you say to bake it at 350 for 50 minutes, but earlier in your writing you say only 30 minutes? I plan on making this tomorrow so I just wanted to see which one 🙂 Thanks!
Hi Kim! Okay, so I’ve contacted the original author and she says that you need to cook it for 50 minutes and I’ve already changed our post. Thanks for the catch and I know that you’ll love this! Deb
I followed the recipe but after 30 minutes it was still raw so I kept sticking it back in. Ended up with overlooked top and raw middle. Is it suppose to be covered? My second attempt at corn casserole and second time I have had to throw it out. 🙁 looked like burnt pudding. Ew
Lea, I’m so sorry that this didn’t work. We recently found out that the recipe was not accurate. We contacted the original owner of the recipe and she said that it is supposed to cook for 50 minutes and not 30. We have now changed that in the recipe instructions.
I doubled this recipe and brought it to thanksgiving dinner and got great compliments. Thanks for sharing.
That makes us so happy to hear it, Tara. Thank you for taking the time to let us know!
Did you put in a 9×13 pan when doubled?
I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I love that its easy and it takes longer to heat the oven then it does to even MAKE this! This dish is SO delicious! I am making it today….just because! 🙂
Thanks so much for telling us! We love it when we help readers find a new favorite! Maddie and Julie have amazing recipes at Tastes of Lizzy T’s.
If I am doubling the recipe and putting it in the 9×13 pan, would I cook longer? Thanks!
Hi Jennifer! I doubled mine for Thanksgiving and also put it in a 9×13 pan and I think I cooked mine 5-10 minutes more but every oven is different so I would just watch it and when the edges start to brown, you should be good. My family loved it!
I add an egg to this same recipe..called corn pudding
I can’t even tell you how many times we have made this in our family. It’s a staple!
I’ve seen it before with some jalepenos. I’ll bet that is so good!
Just a quick point, drain the liquid from the whole kernel corn.
Oops, nevermind my comment. Didn’t see where it already said that in the recipe. Ok, this is me fading back into the woodwork.
Haha! No worries! Don’t fade away…come back!
In the Southwest, we add a can of green chili makes it even more yummy!
That sounds sooo good!
My husband and I loved it! It was a great pairing with Chicken Tortilla soup!
Tina, so glad you liked it! I also had this AGAIN this past Sunday when we had the fam over for dinner. It’s one of our favorites!
I’m trying this today it has my kitchen smelling soooo good.. thanks
Oh Neisha! My family LOVES this and hope yours does too!
Can this be made ahead and frozen? I’m planning on bringing on a camping trip and looking for side dishes to make ahead.
Hi Amy! I have made this multiple times but have never frozen it ahead of time, however, my best guess is that it would work. Let us know if you try it!!
I think the eggs were left out of this recipe. I make this recipe with 2 eggs. Everything else is the same.
Hi Darla! This recipe must be a little different because it does not call for eggs. I have made it multiple times without them. How does it turn out with the eggs?
This is the way I learned it years ago. I am making right now and am happy I found this recipe I was trying to figure out the time. But yes there are some with eggs and I think it come s out more like cornbread and this one reminds me more of a corn pudding. I add small can of diced green chiles
Glad you found us Monica! I hope we will see you here again. Green Chiles sounds great!
I was just wondering – I have tried something called “Southern Corn Pudding” at a local buffet and was wondering if this is the same thing? That was delicious. I will be trying this especially with my granddaughters, they both love corn and cornbread. Now if I could just get my daughter to try it!!!!!
It is similar to what I would call Southern Corn Pudding. We sure hope you like it!
I want to make this tomorrow for Thanksgiving, but I will be pressed for time tomorrow. Can this dish be mixed ahead of time and kept in fridge overnight? I’m worried it might be mushy…
It will be fine! I do that every year. Enjoy!
I am making this 2 different ways this year. One batch I’m making in a crockpot. Just cook on high for about 5 hours and you’re good to go. For that one I’ve subbed gluten free corn bread mix because one of my co-workers is gluten intolerant. Then my 2nd batch is being made in the oven like the recipe calls for. Can’t wait to see how they both turn out!
Let us know how your variations turned out. I am sure other readers would like to know!
JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS TRIED IT WITH CHEESE?
I make mine with cheese. I add one cup of grated cheddar. Hope you enjoyed yours!
I have a casserole crock pot that I was hoping I could make this in to save room in my oven. Do you think it would work and if so, any idea on times and temp?
I think 2-4 hours on high would work. Have you tried crockpot liners yet? You will love how easy it will make your cleanup with a recipe like this. Enjoy!
I made this last night as trial run for today’s Thanksgiving dinner. It came out spectacular!!! It’s a Winner Winner For Turkey Dinner!!! Thank you for sharing!
Glad to hear it, Val! Thanks so much for letting us know!
Sherri-I was trying to find a corn casserole recipe to make. This one looked the best…and as I scrolled down, low and behold, there you were! Congrats on your great blog! How am I just discovering this now? It’s been a busy year for us…so little “Pin” time. Can’t wait to try the casserole. It looks delicious!
Hi Sara! I love watching what you pin. You find the coolest things? I am glad you found us. We also have another blog at http://www.thisgrandmaisfun.com. I know you are not there yet, but you might find some things you like there too. We sure miss you!
For less corn, can we use 2 cans of cream corn instead?
I’ve never done that before that I think that might work!
Hi, I’m feeding a group of 7. Should I double the recipe?
I would double the recipe!
Family favorite. Now I have to double the recipe. One batch wasn’t enough. Took it to a Thanksgiving dinner and normally what we bring we have to take the left overs home except for the corn casserole. Their kids loved it so much they wanted the left overs. Making it for our Christmas Eve get together.
You and I think alike! I always double the batch and I love it the next day!
I’ve made this for decades, and it never fails. Just a few notes: (1) Unless you are dining alone, or wish to serve only two or three people who are over 75 years of age and skinny or under the age of three, make a double batch in a 9×13 pan. Failure to do so could result in fisticuffs of some sort, regardless how polite the folks at your table usually are. (2) Male sure to add a small can of green chilies, drained. They will not add heat and WILL add brightness to the flavor and color to the casserole. Alternatively add a chopped sweet green, red, or orange pepper. (3) DO add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese, mild, medium, or sharp. Experiment with which you like best. (4) Melt the butter before adding it to the other ingredients. Who says delicious things have to take all day slaving over a hot stove? They just have to TASTE like it! Now get out of here while I go fix me some of this!
You are SO right about doubling the batch and baking in a 9×13 pan. Things can get ugly when there’s not enough to go around! Love your other recommendations and will have to try them! And John, I loved your writing! You can comment here any time! It totally made my day!
I was going to suggest the green chiles too. They can be bought in hot, medium or mild and I prefer the medium.
LOL now that was funny..But very accurate
I’ve made this for years and everyone loves it. My recipe calls for the whole kernel corn to be drained. It also calls for and egg and 1/2 cup milk, and some shredded cheddar cheese both in it and on top of it.
I’ve heard about the versions with egg and milk and sometimes even green chilies!
Can I use a 9x9in pan? if so, should i change the cooking tme?
Yes you can and I would take a look at around 45 minutes. When the sides start to turn golden brown and start to pull away a little bit, it should be done!
I’m planning to substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. Any suggestions for a substitute for the butter? I considered coconut oil? Has anyone tried any substitutes?
We love this dish. I use sour cream onion dip or sour cream dill dip (the kind you use for potato chips) and it adds a great flavor change. Yum!
I don’t have jiffy cornbread mix. Is there a way to make a cornbread mix using regular cornmeal?
Shoot Linda, I don’t really know. But here’s a link to where you can get some Jiffy Corn Bread!

Hope that helps!
This recipe doesn’t work. I had it in a 375 degree oven for over an hour and it is still raw. So disappointed.
Raissa, I’m so sorry about that. I have personally made this over two dozen times and have never had it fail. Not quite sure what went wrong here.
This was great! I had some cottage cheese that was going to expire soon so instead of the full cup of sour cream I put in the rest of the cottage cheese (ended up being about 2/3 cup) and then 1/3 cup sour cream to make a full cup total. It came out nice and my husband really liked it. Thank you!
Seriously this is one of my families favorite recipes!
Making this tonight but it still seems a little soupy. Can you describe the intended consistiency?
Stephanie, how did this turn out for you? I would say that mine starts out a little “soupy” but ends up firmer. I’ve made it more times than I can count and have never not had it turn out.
It shouldn’t be gooey, but shouldn’t be too dense, either! Did you mix it by hand or mixer? I’ve tried both in the past and have found that mixing by hand creates the consistency I want when cooked. Perhaps it could be the type of sour cream you are using as well. Hope this helps! Happy Thanksgiving! (Side note, I like to add a little paprika on top for some added color and zing) 🙂
Ooohhh….great tips Gabrielle. I would agree that it should be mixed by hand. And I didn’t even think about the sour cream until you brought it up. I always use Daisy Sour Cream. Don’t know if that makes a difference, but it’s my favorite. Love the paprika idea!
I’ve been using this recipe for a couple of years now and my family devours it so quickly I always end up having to quadruple the recipe. I’ve never had any issues, I think I might add some peppers in mine this year. Thank you for quenching our taste buds, and making me look like a pro chef! Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
Question: will it be ok to bake this in an aluminum disposable pan? I’m bringing it to a potluck and I don’t want to worry about bringing home my casserole dish.
I’m pretty sure I’ve baked in an aluminum pan before and it turned out fine. You’ll love it!
Question-do you follow the directions on the Jiffy box then add the other ingredients? Or just use the box Jiffy with your recipe?
You don’t follow the directions on the box. You pour the Jiffy box in with the other ingredients. Easy Peasy!
I’m making for first time, it’s brown around edges and looks firm on top -I’m taking to thxgiving tomorrow. I’m a little fearful cuz I won’t know if done in the center??? Anyway to know???
How did this turn out for you Erika? What you described is exactly how mine looks when I make it so I’m hoping it was perfect for you!
I forgot to drain the corn hope it comes out ok to eat ?
Did it turn out runny?
I forgot to drain the corn. Will it be ok????
Ooohhh…I’m worried that it is going to be runny. How did it turn out?
Can I make this recipe with out sour cream?
I have never made it without sour cream but my best guess is that it will change the recipe too drastically and won’t turn out. However, I do think that you might be able to substitute some greek yogurt and get the same results. Hopefully that works!
Do you think it is okay to prepare/mix everything night before and then to cook the next day? I make this every year and it is a huge hit – but trying to smarten up my time a little this year and make whatever I can the day before to avoid whatever chaos I can 🙂
Although I haven’t done this, I have certainly thought about it and I think it will work just fine! Maybe take it out a little bit before baking so that it’s not quite so cold? We had this for Thanksgiving this year and it always disappears!
This is my new favorite side dish! Made it for Thanksgiving and taking it to work today for our Christmas luncheon. Make it following this recipe exactly and you can’t go wrong. Thank you for sharing!
Made this today for a family Christmas gathering. After 1 hour and 17 mins on 350 it still wasn’t done. Runny as all get out. I ended up scrapping it and not taking anything. Bummer.
Angie I am so sorry this didn’t turn out for you. I have made it a bajillion times and have never had it not set up. Weird.
