A Yummy Fall Side Dish: Creamy Corn Casserole

I’ve never been much of a cook. When I first got married, my culinary skills pretty much topped out at hot dogs, those frozen Banquet meals (remember the riblets?), and a box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese—which, to be fair, I made really well! Over time, I started asking family and friends to share recipes my husband loved, and once I mastered a few, I stuck with them. Let’s just say I became the queen of repeat meals, haha!

So when the holidays rolled around, everyone already knew what side dish I’d be bringing. Even now, it’s always one of three things: baked mac and cheese, Cape Verdean-style rice, or my all-time favorite—Corn Casserole.

This recipe is special because I discovered it years ago on the Domestically Speaking blog and have since tweaked it ever so slightly to make it perfect. It’s been a crowd-pleaser ever since. Even the pickiest eaters can’t resist it! Family—if you’re reading this, back me up in the comments, lol.

Made with cream-style corn, sweet corn, and Jiffy mix, this creamy corn casserole couldn’t be easier—or more delicious. It’s the ultimate comforting holiday side dish. Let’s get started!

Grab your ingredients:

(Please note, I usually make this for a large crowd so this easily doubles, triples or even quadruples)

• 1 Box of Jiffy Corn Bread

• 1 Can of Cream Style Corn

• 1 Can of sweet corn, partially drained

• 4 oz of Sour cream

• 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)

• 1 Tsp of Vanilla

• 1 T Sugar

• 1 Large egg

• 1 Stick of butter

What to do:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy mix, sugar, egg, cream-style corn, and sweet corn. Stir until well blended.

3. Add the sour cream, softened whipped cream cheese, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.

4. Cut the stick of butter in half. Place one half in a 9×9-inch baking dish and pop it into the preheated oven for a few minutes to melt.

5. Melt the remaining half of the butter in the microwave (about 25 seconds) and pour it into your corn mixture. Stir again to combine.

6. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the corn mixture over the melted butter.

7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crisp, and the center is just set.
