Why this recipe works

Corn casserole is the perfect middle ground between sweet and savory. It has the best of both worlds. Sweet like cornbread, but savory thanks to the delicious buttery taste. It’s soft, fluffy, and baked to a beautiful golden brown with nice crisp edges.

You might also know corn casserole as corn pudding, it mainly graces the table at holiday gatherings but can be served year-round with an array of different main courses.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

CORNBREAD – One 8.5 oz Jiffy cornbread mix sets the stage in this casserole and makes life a lot easier. The sour cream adds fluffiness to the cornbread but can be left out if entirely necessary.

CORN – 1 can of creamed corn and 1 can of whole kernel corn (drained) is needed here. The creamed corn adds sweetness on top of course, creaminess. You may, however, substitute the can of whole kernel corn with fresh or frozen corn (thawed) if desired.

EGGS – Eggs are your binding agent, helping the casserole be less crumbly.

Yes, corn casserole can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Do note that this dish is super easy to make, it won’t take long at all to whip up the day of! You can either prep the casserole or fully bake it and allow it to cool before storing in the fridge.
