Why This Recipe Works
The genius of this corn casserole lies in the combination of textures and the magic of Jiffy corn muffin mix. The creamed corn provides moisture and sweetness, while whole kernel corn adds delightful texture. The Jiffy mix acts as both a thickener and a flavor enhancer, creating a pudding-like consistency that’s neither too dense nor too loose. As it bakes, the top caramelizes to golden perfection, creating a beautiful contrast between the crispy surface and creamy interior.
Ingredients
- Large Eggs – Bind ingredients together and create the perfect pudding-like texture
- Canned whole kernel corn – Provides texture and sweet corn flavor when drained properly
- Canned creamed corn – Creates the creamy base and adds moisture to the casserole
- Sour cream – Contributes tanginess and richness that balances the sweetness
- Jiffy cornbread mix – Acts as a thickener and adds subtle cornbread flavor
- Butter – Provides richness and helps achieve the golden, caramelized top
Recipe Variations
If you would like a way to make this recipe a little bit healthier, you can always substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream in this recipe.
Top with Cheddar cheese – sprinkle about 3/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese on top in the last 15 minutes of baking.
Add a can of green chilies – add a small 2 ounce can of chopped green chilies to the mixture for a Southwest flavor.
Add two tablespoons of chopped pimento – pimento peppers add a bit of flavor and pop of color.

How many ounces in the jiffy corn muffin mix? Is it the 8.5 ounce size?
Yes, it is the 8.5-ounce size.
