I know sweet sides on the Thanksgiving table can be polarizing, but I for one am a huge fan. Sweet and savory is such a great combo, and this Jiffy corn casserole strikes the perfect balance. The Jiffy corn muffin mix is sweet (but not too sweet) and the sour cream keeps everything so rich and moist. I’ll take two heaping scoops, please!
I can never decide between making cornbread or corn pudding for Thanksgiving, and I just don’t have the time or energy to do both. This Jiffy corn casserole strikes the perfect balance between the two dishes with tender kernels of corn bound together with corn muffin mix. It’s my favorite sweet and savory Thanksgiving side dish!
What’s in This Jiffy Corn Casserole Recipe?
- Corn: I like to use a can of whole-kernel corn for ease, but you can also boil ears of fresh corn and cut the kernels off. A can is equivalent to approximately 2 medium ears of fresh corn.
- Creamed Corn: This mixture of corn kernels and thickened liquid adds moisture to the casserole and enhances the corn flavor.
- Sour Cream: Adds moisture and tanginess to the casserole. Plain Greek yogurt also works well here.
- Butter: Unsalted butter makes the casserole rich and tender.
- Egg: Helps bind the casserole together into a cohesive mass.
- Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix : Gives the casserole structure and enhances the corn flavor. Jiffy is on the sweeter side, so if you choose to use a different brand, you may want to add some extra sugar.
Tips for Success
- If you like your casserole on the sweeter side, you can add up to 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to the mix, although the cornbread mix is already sweetened.
- To make this gluten-free, choose a gluten-free corn muffin mix and make sure that your creamed corn is also gluten-free!
- You can prepare the casserole up to the point of baking and cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking.
- Cover the casserole loosely with aluminum foil if it is browning too quickly in the oven.
- If the casserole comes out runny, try baking it a bit longer, covering the baking dish with foil to avoid burning the top.
- To make in a crockpot, combine all of the ingredients and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4 hours.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover Jiffy corn casserole tightly covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 375°F oven for 15-20 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
This Jiffy corn casserole is one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes . It’s so creamy, sweet, and delicious– a great contrast to savory Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing . I like to add a pat of honey butter over the top of mine while it’s still warm.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
