Are you looking for the ultimate comfort food? This Paula Deen Jiffy Corn Casserole Recipe is a total crowd-pleaser. It is creamy, buttery, and packed with sweet corn flavor.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use non-stick spray to grease your baking dish. This prevents the corn pudding from sticking to the edges.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sour cream. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth. Make sure the butter is not too hot.
Add the Corn
Pour in the drained whole-kernel corn and the cream-style corn. Stir gently to combine. The cream-style corn adds a wonderful, silky texture to the base.
Stir in the Jiffy Mix
Add the box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix to the bowl. Stir everything until just combined. Do not overmix the batter, or it might become too tough.
Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the corn mixture into your prepared 9x13 baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly. It should look smooth across the top before baking.
Bake the Casserole
Place the dish in the oven for about 45 to 50 minutes. The edges should be golden brown. The center should be set but still slightly jiggly.
Add Cheese Topping
If you like cheese, sprinkle it on five minutes before finishing. Let it melt until bubbly and delicious. This adds a nice salty kick to the dish.
Cool and Serve
Remove the casserole from the oven. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This helps the pudding set so it is easier to scoop.
Notes
Add some heat: Mix in a small can of diced green chiles for a spicy twist.
Honey drizzle: Add a tablespoon of honey to the batter for extra sweetness.
Make it cheesy: Stir half a cup of cheddar cheese directly into the batter.
Crunchy topping: Sprinkle crushed crackers on top for a bit of texture.
Don't overbake: The center should stay moist, so watch the clock closely.
Light version: You can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to save calories.
