How to Make Jiffy Corn Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and set aside. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Add the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, beaten eggs, and sour cream to the dish. Stir until well combined.

Step 3: Add Cheese and Muffin Mix

Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until combined. Add the Jiffy corn muffin mix and stir until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Bake and Serve

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggly. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use a 9×13 inch baking dish: Using the correct size baking dish ensures that the casserole cooks evenly and doesn’t overflow.
Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the casserole dense and tough. Mix until just combined.
Let the casserole rest: Allowing the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving helps it set and makes it easier to cut and serve.
