A quick and easy corn casserole combining Jiffy corn muffin mix and cream cheese for a creamy, comforting side dish perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained but not rinsed
  • 1 (14.75 oz) can creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream (plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, melted (unsalted preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1-2 jalapeños, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwaving in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sour cream and eggs until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer or whisk.
  4. Slowly pour in the melted butter while mixing to combine thoroughly.
  5. Gradually add the entire box of Jiffy corn muffin mix to the wet ingredients. Stir gently but completely to avoid lumps.
  6. Fold in the drained whole kernel corn and canned creamed corn using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Sprinkle in salt and black pepper, folding them in evenly. If using, gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños now.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

Notes

Soften cream cheese properly to avoid lumps. Do not rinse the whole kernel corn to retain moisture and flavor. Fold ingredients gently to keep texture. Check casserole at 45 minutes to avoid drying out. You can prepare ahead and refrigerate before baking; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if baking cold.
