Cornbread Casserole Recipe

There are a ton of different ways to make cornbread – some recipes incorporate whole milk, some buttermilk, some use honey. There’s our from-scratch cornbread recipe made in a cast iron skillet and this cornbread casserole. ALL GOOD.

This cornbread casserole recipe (also known as corn pudding) incorporates sour cream, corn kernels, and creamed corn. I got it from a Minnesota friend when we lived there years ago and have been making it ever since. It’s super easy and delicious, and a great side dish for a holiday dinner or all year round.

Ingredients Needed

This corn pudding recipe only requires a few ingredients.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

• Cornbread muffin mix (such as Jiffy) – Our star ingredient.
• Sour cream – Makes the casserole creamy.
• Butter – Adds necessary moisture.
• Eggs – Provides richness and structure to the mixture.
• Granulated sugar – Just a touch for a hint of sweetness.
• Canned corn – We includes a can of whole corn kernels and creamed corn. You could also use an equal amount of our homemade creamed corn.

Recipe Variations

• Omit the sugar. We prefer our cornbread a little sweet – I know that’s like sacrilege to many, but we think it balances out the other ingredients. You can omit it, if preferred.
• Add in some sausage: You can add in a 1/2 pound cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, mixed into the batter before baking.
• Double the recipe: This recipe easily doubles and baked in a 9×13 dish.

Proper Storage

• Storing leftovers. Allow the corn casserole to cool, then transfer any leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
• Reheat. Reheat until warmed through in the oven or in the microwave.
• To freeze. Because of the dairy content in this casserole, the texture changes a bit once thawed, which isn’t our favorite. But you can freeze it, if necessary. Allow to cool, transfer to a freezer-safe dish if it wasn’t baked in one, then wrap the entire pan tightly in 2 layers of foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
