Jiffy corn pudding is a creamy, buttery, and sweet side dish perfect for any dinner or holiday, and comfort food at its finest.
Corn Pudding with Jiffy Mix
Jiffy corn pudding is a classic comfort food that’s incredibly easy to prepare. This perfect side dish combines the simplicity of Jiffy corn muffin mix with creamed corn and a touch of sweetness for an flavor combination that is out of this world.
We first made this during the fall several years ago to go with one of our Sunday dinners, and the kids all agreed it was one of their favorite ways to enjoy corn.
Its versatility makes it a perfect addition to any meal, from casual weeknight main dishes to holiday gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, this casserole is sure to become a holiday staple.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- It’s so simple! It’s so easy that anyone can make it (and it takes just 10 minutes to prep).
- A great side dish (and it’s quick). It’s a great BBQ side dish or for your holiday dinners (like Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas)!
- Sweet and savory. It’s a little bit sweet, and a little bit savory (similar to our Glazed Carrots and Candied Sweet Potatoes), making it 100% delicious.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 50 minutes
- ½ cup butter softened – use salted or unsalted butter. Refer to this How to Soften Butter Quickly post
- ½ cup granulated sugar – Increase the amount of sugar for an even sweeter pudding, or remove the sugar for a more savory dish.
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream – or plain yogurt
- 1 (8.5-ounce) package Jiffy cornbread mix – or Jiffy cornbread muffin mix
- ½ cup milk – whole milk makes the creamiest casserole, but lower fat milk can also be used.
- 1 can (15.25 ounces) whole kernel corn drained – or 3-3½ cups fresh corn kernels. Lightly sauté them or boil them before mixing them into the batter. This will ensure the corn is fully cooked and provides a tender texture in the finished pudding.
- 1 can (14.75 ounces) cream style corn
HOMEMADE CORN MIX RECIPE

Mexican corn pudding.Add some spice with a can of diced green chiles (or jalapeños or bell pepper) and top with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Meat. Add cooked crumbled bacon to the top, or mix in cubed ham before baking.
Sweeten it up. Increase the amount of sugar for an even sweeter pudding, or remove the sugar for a more savory dish.
Cheese. Add shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese.
To avoid a watery casserole drain the can of corn well. Pat dry with a paper towel. If you want to be extra cautious, toss your corn in a skillet, and cook off some of the liquid.
This dish can be assembled up to 24 hours before. Cover your baking dish with foil, and refrigerate it until you’re ready to cook. You may need to add a few more minutes to the baking time because you’re starting with a cold casserole.
Place leftovers for corn pudding in an airtight container, or cover it with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Seal it tightly in a container, and freeze. When you’re ready to use it, let it thaw completely, then reheat and enjoy.
Absolutely DELICIOUS! You will not regret putting in the time to make this dish; I would say it holds a flame to my grandma’s (but don’t tell her that!). Flavors are on-point, and I love the step by step details (I’m someone who needs that).
This looks really great
Oops- forgot the “stars”! Made this for a family dinner. Even picky grandkids loved it! That’s a win 🏆

Corn casserole is one of the recipes our family serves at all holiday meals. Everyone loves it so never any left overs.
This recipe is easy and fast. Thanks for including the homemade cornbread recipe to use if you either don’t have a boxed mix or don’t want to use one. Also fun to add in extra ingredients to spice it up. I loved the storage tips and the enlargement of the recipe to feed a crowd.
