This easy corn casserole is a delicious side dish – a cross between cornbread and creamed corn. Its soft and fluffy and has a beautiful golden brown crust.
Hey there! This is Richa from My Food Story and today I have for you this really easy corn casserole recipe that makes the perfect side dish.
There’s something about a corn casserole that is so creamy and perfect that everyone loves. It’s got just the right amount of sweet and salty flavours and really needs only five ingredients. However, as always I like to up things a bit and love adding some chopped jalapeno to my corn casserole, along with a squirt of lime when serving. It adds a little heat and lime juice helps notch up the sweet flavours. In my opinion this corn casserole is truly perfect.
The easiest way to make a corn casserole is to get your hands on a Jiffy cornbread mix because that really cuts down the ingredient list. Then you just combine everything with butter, creamed corn, corn kernels, eggs, sour cream and jalapenos. And you are done! Bake for about 50-55 minutes and you have a corn casserole with a perfect golden brown crust.
This recipe may have come from the back of a Jiffy cornbread box year ago because I really don’t remember its origin and got passed onto me by a friend. I’ve used other cornbread muffin mixes and it works just as well as long as you follow the recipe.
Once you bake it, you might see a little butter on the sides, but as it cools a little bit, all the butter gets absorbed to give you a delicious nutty flavour.
This recipe has a nice sweetness to it, but its not overpoweringly sweet. And the jalapenos really add a delicious heat to it thats not spicy, but just there somewhere in the background.
I have to tell you that if you’ve never tried it with a squirt of lime juice, you are in for a treat! Surprisingly this goes really well with my Instant Pot Beef Stew recipe.
This was easy to bring together and very tasty! The family loved it. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that it was a little too sweet for my palate. But that’s just me. I’m not a fan of sugar in general. The rest of my family had no such complaint.
Great recipe
Simple & Delicious!
I throw in a can of drained rotel tomato and chili peppers, some cheddar cheese, and top it with cheddar. It’s really good
I have made this for many years. I use frozen corn instead of the canned, steamed in microwave until almost done).
Mixed with the creamed corn 🌽 t is better. I add jalapeños and a tsp of sugar too.
Excellent recipe. Easy and delish. Wish I could have shared it. Thank you
I have made a similar corn casserole for many years. Mine has chopped onion and green pepper…and lots of grated cheddar put on top the last 10 min of baking
My Go-to pot luck “hot dish”
Made this today for Easter and it was fabulous. I made my own creamed corn with bacon grease. I used the Jiffy box and it worked out great. I did add a small can if mild chilis and grated two small jalapeños into the mix. I had a little bit of crumbled bacon that I added to the top just before baking. I was tempted to add cheese but honestly didn’t miss it. Thanks for a fantastic recipe.
Love love love this casserole recipe. Have tried others but really like the sweetness this one has. Goes good with any dishes you might be having with it. I could eat it alone!
