- Canned Creamed Corn: It adds that lovely, velvety richness. It’s the backbone of creamy comfort.

A little bit of sweetness goes a long way here. It’s a perfect simple side dish.
How to Make Easy Jiffy Corn Casserole
Getting this Easy Jiffy Corn Casserole into the oven is so straightforward. I find the process genuinely enjoyable. It’s a few simple steps. You’ll create a wonderfully comforting side dish. Let’s dive into making this fantastic corn bake!
Preheat and Prepare Your Dish
First, let’s get our oven ready. Turn it on to 350°F. Then, take an 8×8-inch baking dish. Give it a good greasing. Butter or cooking spray works well. This step prevents any sticking later.
Combine the Wet Ingredients and Corn
Grab a large bowl. Add both cans of corn. Make sure to drain the whole kernels first. Next, pour in the creamed corn. Spoon in your sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add the melted butter next. Finally, crack in the large egg. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and combined.
Incorporate the Jiffy Mix
Now, it’s time for the magic ingredient. Open your 8.5-ounce box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Add it directly to the wet ingredients. Stir it in gently. Mix just until you don’t see any dry streaks. Be careful not to overmix here. Overmixing can make the casserole tough.
Bake to Golden Perfection
Pour the corn mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Place the dish into your preheated oven. Let it bake for about 50 to 55 minutes. You’re looking for a beautiful golden-brown top. The center should be set, not jiggly.
Allow to Rest Before Serving
Once it’s perfectly baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven. This part is crucial: let the corn casserole sit. Allow it at least 10 minutes to rest on a cooling rack. This resting period helps it set up. It makes serving much easier and neater. It’s now ready to be enjoyed!
