How to make Corn Pudding Casserole

The secret to this recipe is using an ordinary box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Who knew something so simple as corn muffins could also be a delicious casserole?  

Jiffy made this recipe famous by printing it on the back of their muffin box many years ago. There are a lot of versions of it floating around as well. 

Some versions use heavy cream and others add more eggs making the pudding more like a souffle. I even saw one recipe that adds ½ cup of sugar. There are even other recipes out there that don't use cheese, however, the recipe I'm sharing with you today uses cheddar cheese.

Substitutions and Variations

• If you like a little kick to your corn pudding, try a Pepper Jack cheese.
• Or you can add half cheddar, half Pepper Jack.
• And if you really like spicy things, add a small can of chopped jalapenoes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Step 1: In a microwaveable safe bowl, melt the butter.
• Step 2: Then add the corn mix.
• Step 3: Add both cans of corn, the egg and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, mix well until everything is combined.
• Step 4: Once everything is combined, add half the cheddar cheese.

Add the Sour Cream

• Step 5: Add the corn pudding mixture to a 13X9 size casserole dish that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• Step 6: Dollop the sour cream on top.
• Step 7: Then take a butter knife and run it through the sour cream blending it with the corn pudding mixture. 
• Step 8: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top evenly covering the casserole. 

Baking Instructions

• Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 40 minutes, checking after 35 minutes because all ovens operate differently. 

➡️Recipe Tips

• This recipe was done in 40 minutes baked in a 350 degree oven. However, all ovens are different! So it helps to have a little information that will tell you when your corn pudding casserole is baked. 
• This is not corn bread. It has a pudding consistency, so don't expect this to be bready. 
• Don't over bake the pudding. 
• The casserole is done when the edges are golden brown and the middle is just a little wiggly. 
• Another test is to insert a knife in the center of the casserole. If the knife come out clean, the corn pudding casserole is done! 

Prep Ahead Tips

You can prepare this recipe at least one day before you are planning on serving it. Follow these easy tips: 

• Prepare the casserole only do not bake it. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil. Place in the refrigerator for up to one day before baking. 
• When you're ready to bake the casserole to serve, allow it to sit on the counter for 30 minutes so the baking dish can return to room temperature and then bake according to the directions. 
• You can pre-bake the casserole as well up to two days before serving. Let the casserole cool completely and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap/aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator. 
• When you're ready to serve, allow the casserole to sit on the counter for 30 minutes so the baking dish can return to room temperature and then bake in a 350°F oven for about 10 to 20 minutes or until it's warmed through. Since it's already baked, so you shouldn't need the full baking time.  

Storage Tips

• If you have any leftovers, and that's a big IF, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
• Or you can freeze the leftovers for up to two months. 

Reheating Tips

• Reheat the leftovers in a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap.
