Cheesy 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. If you like a little kick to your corn pudding, try a Pepper Jack cheese. Or even go half cheddar, half Pepper Jack. It's really up to you!
Corn Pudding Recipe Ingredients:
How to Make Corn Pudding Casserole
In a microwaveable safe bowl, melt the butter. Then add the butter along with the corn mix, both cans of corn, egg and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, mix well until everything is combined.
How to Add the Sour Cream
After you have the corn pudding mixture in the casserole dish that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, dollop the sour cream on top. Then take a butter knife and run it through the sour cream blending it with the corn pudding mixture.
How to Bake the Casserole
Now it's time to add the remaining cheese. Sprinkle it on top evenly covering the casserole.
Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 40 minutes, checking after 35 minutes because all ovens operate differently.
How do you know this Recipe is Done?
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. We're making a pudding here 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. Does the knife come out clean? The corn bread pudding casserole is done!
How Far Ahead can you Make Corn Bread Pudding?
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 degree oven for about 10 to 20 minutes or until it's warmed through. It's already baked, so you shouldn't need the full baking time.
How to Store Leftovers:
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.
