Cooking Notes

Susan

can you make this ahead and warm?

Kristin Snow

Replace the flour, corn meal and baking powder with two boxes of jiffy mix.

Delicious. Made this for a small dinner party last night, and it's gone. Seconds and thirds were had by all. Halved the recipe and made it with all parmesan. Scallions and rosemary, which should not be regarded as optional, round out the flavor profile nicely. Had 3/4 c. more corn than needed so threw it in. Still held together and made for a less pudding-like consistency. Baked it in a pyrex dish that created a chewy, cheesy brown crust around the edge. Yum!

Can this be made ahead and frozen? I am thinking ahead to Thanksgiving!Mary

Stephen

I am from Georgia and we call this corn soufflé. I’ve never had one made from Jiffy. I make a Mexi version by adding rajas (roasted, peeled, seeded strips of Poblano peppers.

CM

Do you thaw the frozen corn first? Asking as it has a fair bit of water which would drain off if thawed first but would go into the dish if you used the corn in its frozen state

Anna

Very, very good - used two bags of frozen corn (so a little less than two pounds), a full bunch of scallions, and just used cooking spray on the baking dish rather than the fussy butter melting situation. Came out perfectly and delicious.

Nancy

I added 1/3 extra cup of sour cream after reading others’ notes about how the original recipe sometimes yielded a dry result. The extra sour cream yielded a delicious result it was not at all dry!

Veganize:--Use "Earth Balance" or,"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" (vegan variety, only) margarine in place of butter;--Use "Tofutti Sour Supreme" in place of dairy sour cream;--Use "JUST Egg" egg substitute, or, aquafaba, in place of egg in recipe.Note helpful links, below, to ingredients mentioned, above:https://www.earthbalancenatural.com/baking-sticks/vegan-buttery-stickshttps://www.icantbelieveitsnotbutter.com/products/vegan-spread/https://tofutti.com/frozen-desserts/sour-cream

Only sub Jiffy if you like it very sweet. The third ingredient in the mix, after flour and cornmeal, is sugar. If you're using fresh, sweet corn to make this, the additional sugar in the mix turns it into something closer to a dessert.

Susan

I am from Chelsea, MI, where Jiffy Mix is made. It is awesome to see them mentioned in this recipes. I have made corn casseroles, souffles for years, but never incorporated Jiffy MIX CORNBREAD. Thanks for this recipe, it looks good.

Lemmonee

Frozen would be the better choice than canned.

I have made the Jiffy Cornbread mix recipe for years, then stopped as it is made with lard and a lot of artificial ingredients. This is so fresh-tasting and delicious! We all loved it! Definitely recommend frozen corn, not canned. I might use a little less butter, just for less calories, and I used light sour cream. It was great!

DLEB

Add peppers as others have noted or ground ancho pepper from your slice drawer. Gives it that smoky / sweet thing...

Dan

Follow-on to my previous note. Use White Lily white corn meal. Sweet is not good for this.

JessMess

This cake will get you drunk. 10 stars.

James M.

I did add extra egg and sour cream. My crew woofed it down and wanted more! Will be adding this to my repertoire for sure.

MF

I sautéed the corn in 4T butter and just sprayed the baking dish before transferring the batter in. I made up for the missing fat with more cheese on top. This was fairly tasty, but the texture wasn’t exactly what I expected; it was more crumbly than soft, not what I’d call “incredibly moist cornbread studded with corn kernels.” I suspect I may have cooked the frozen corn for too long and so there wasn’t enough liquid left for the batter. Clearer instructions please!

Kathy B

Served this alongside a pot of turkey chili for a group of hungry skiers. Everyone went back for seconds, topping their bowls of chili with a raft of corn casserole. Added the 1/3 cup additional sour cream to the casserole batter as suggested by another reader. Next time I make this, I’ll add a small can of diced green chilis. Wonderful casserole; great with chili!

Candace Gallagher

I found this very dry. I used a 2 lb bag of frozen corn (unthawed) and light sour cream (which is all I had). It was tasty but very very dry - like mostly corn with some crumbs around it. Not sure if that was due to using light sour cream. If I made it again I would increase the sour cream and butter and maybe add another egg.

Violet

Fantastic recipe! It turned out great, though a tad too dry. More sour cream might help.

Brett

No one seems to have answered the question: can this dish be made ahead of time and reheated?

Lp

Too buttery and cheesy for my taste. As leftovers just tastes like cheesy corn. Won’t make again.

ahf

Needs more moisture.....very dry.

Mimi

I love corn and was enthusiastic about making this recipe. However, we ended up not liking it. I thought it was too salty, I did not taste the rosemary at all, and I didn't like the consistency (the flour or cornmeal clumped together). I forgot to add the scallions, so maybe that would have made a difference.

AM

This worked great with Bob's Red Mill 1-1 gluten-free baking flour substituted for the AP flour.

Dave G

added a few crushed cornflakes on the top

lee

I found this very dry. Next time I’ll omit sour cream, and instead add 1 can creamed corn, 1 more egg and 3/4 C milk or half and half, and see what happens :)

A.Baker

My mother made this for many years with the addition of small fresh oysters. It was delicious. Coming from the PNW, it was as important as the smoked salmon on the appetizer plate.

Allie

I made this yesterday for Thanksgiving. It was delicious! Based on other notes, I added another 1/2 cup of sour cream and an additional egg. I also added a small can of chopped green chilies and chopped jalapenõs. It wasn't dry at all. I baked it earlier in the day and reheated it. It looked beautiful and everyone loved it.

Corn Casserole Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why is my corn casserole mushy? ›

If the corn pudding is mushy, it's likely because there was too much liquid! Make sure you drain the whole kernel corn before adding it to the mixture. If you're using frozen corn, allow it to thaw before using it to reduce the moisture.

How do you know when corn casserole is done? ›

Pour into greased baking dish, sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar on top (my favorite part!) and bake for 45-60 minutes until sides are golden and the middle doesn't jiggle when you shake it. It may take an additional 15 minutes if you double the recipe - it all depends on your oven. Let cool slightly before serving.

Is there a substitute for sour cream in corn casserole? ›

Just replace the same amount of sour cream called for in the recipe with full-fat plain Greek yogurt. Mayonnaise - Surprisingly, mayonnaise makes a good substitute for sour cream, especially in stews and casseroles. It adds richness, creaminess and tanginess.

What is the difference between corn casserole and cornbread? ›

Corn casserole is a dish that mixes cornbread with whole kernel corn, sour cream, butter, and cheese, along with some creamed corn to form a new dish that has cornbread as its base.

Does corn get softer the longer you cook it? ›

Corn is a very tender vegetable, so it need only be boiled until it is heated to serving temperature. I'd say that two to three minutes in rapidly boiling water should suffice. If you leave it in the water longer, it might get a little softer, but nothing catastrophic will happen.

How do you make a casserole not soggy? ›

To prevent a soupy casserole, be sure to fully thaw any frozen vegetables in a colander over a bowl, and pat dry, squeeze excess moisture out of greens like spinach or chard, and quickly precook watery fresh vegetables like onions, mushrooms or squashes just until they release their moisture.

Why is the middle of my cornbread not cooked? ›

Cornbread, or any baked good, will fall in the middle if it is not completely baked, or if you add too much leavening, which causes it to rise more than the structure of the batter can sustain. Always use a tester inserted in the center of your cornbread to make sure it's done.

What do you serve with corn casserole? ›

Veggies: If you want to cut through the creamy goodness of this casserole, this simple green salad is your zippy ticket, or these delicious roasted carrots. Other sides: Some classic mashed potatoes, equally classic green bean casserole, or sweet potato casserole because the holidays are all about those casseroles.

Does canned corn need to be cooked? ›

Canned corn is fully cooked, so it is safe to eat without further cooking. Canned vegetables are great to keep on hand. Look for “low sodium” or “no salt added” on the label, or rinse canned vegetables to reduce their sodium (salt) content.

Can we use mayo instead of sour cream? ›

Mayo is a great sour cream substitute. It can be used as a 1:1 replacement in both baking and dips. You'll lose some of that tang that sour cream offers, but it still does a great job at adding moisture to baked goods. Plus, it's relatively the same texture as sour cream, which makes it a great sub in dips and sauce.

What can I use if I don't have sour cream? ›

If regular yogurt is all you can find, try straining it through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter to thicken it up.

Can I use sour cream instead of cream cheese in a casserole? ›

Sour cream replicates cream cheese's taste but isn't quite as caloric, making it a good choice for a lower-calorie substitute. It gives baked goods a texture that's airy and moist, and even adds an extra bit of creaminess to cheesecake. You can substitute an equal amount of sour cream for cream cheese in recipes.

What's better corn pudding or corn casserole? ›

The main difference is the texture. Corn pudding has a similar gelatinous texture to dessert pudding, hence its name, so it's creamy and loose. In comparison, corn casserole has a thicker consistency and holds its shape better than the pudding because it uses thickening agents like instant cornbread mix.

Is Jiffy cornbread the same as cornmeal? ›

Jiffy cornbread mix, in case you really are standing in the baking aisle wondering, is wheat flour mixed with some cornmeal, a lot of sugar, lard, baking soda, and a handful of preservatives. (Note that because of the wheat flour, it's not gluten-free.) Use it to make creamy, cheesy Corn Pudding.

Can I use canned corn instead of cornmeal? ›

You do NOT have to slave away to have delicious cornbread on your table this year! Swap out cornmeal for a can of corn or corn on the cob and you are in business. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Start by whisking all wet ingredients: eggs, milk, honey, and melted butter.

How do you fix mushy corn? ›

  2. If the canned corn has been properly stored and cooked to the appropriate temperature (165°F or 74°C), it should be safe to eat.
Feb 16, 2023

Is overcooked corn mushy? ›

Plus, over-boiling corn can make it mushy and not-so appetizing.

Why does my corn taste mushy? ›

If it's not in great shape at the store, it will quickly go bad at home, turning soft or mushy with a dried-out husk and fully browned tassel. Withered or dry kernels are another sign your corn has passed its prime.

How do you fix watery corn pudding? ›

If your corn pudding is runny, try adding a little extra cornstarch. If you don't have any cornstarch on hand, you can substitute it with flour or arrowroot powder.
