Corn casserole is one of my favorite holiday sides or during any time of the year. It is the easiest side dish recipe to throw together and serve next to other holiday staples like turkey, ham, potatoes, and Jell-O salad. Simple ingredients like canned corn and Jiffy cornbread mix makes the recipe even easier. It's SO good!

👩🏽‍🍳 Variations

In my opinion, corn casserole and corn pudding can be interchangeable in titles. However, I have a slow cooker corn pudding recipe that I serve by scooping with a spoon like pudding. It's a creamier consistency than this corn casserole. However, in some regions corn casserole and corn pudding are considered the same thing.

Some people like to top their corn casserole with cheese, but I like to stir it into the mix instead. You can also leave out the cheese altogether. It's really just a preference thing, so you can decide. I just don't like to cover up the yummy crackly corn bread with greasy looking melted cheese. But, hey, I'm not going to try and sway your opinion. 🙂

Mix green chiles into your corn casserole or a mixture of different kinds of cheeses. You might also try stirring in ground sausage to make it a breakfast casserole!

It only takes 5 minutes to mix the 5-6 ingredients together and the rest is just waiting for it to bake! You can bake this in a square baking pan or a 2-quart baking dish. If you want thinner slices, bake in a 9x13 for a little less time.
