This Jiffy Corn Casserole is a comforting, cheesy side dish that’s perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings. Easy to prepare and packed with rich corn flavor, it’s sure to become a favorite on your table.

A square piece of corn casserole sits on a white plate, showing three distinct layers: a crispy, golden brown cheese top layer with slightly melted texture, a thick, creamy middle layer of light yellow mashed corn mixture, and a bottom layer with bright yellow whole corn kernels peeking out. The edges of the casserole are uneven, showing a soft, crumbly texture, with some loose corn kernels scattered around. A silver fork rests on the left side of the plate, and the plate is placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

How to Serve

The image shows a white square baking dish filled with a baked corn casserole that has a golden-brown top layer with slightly darker browned spots around the edges, creating a crispy crust. A portion of the casserole has been scooped out from the bottom right corner, revealing a soft, moist, and slightly chunky yellow interior with pieces of corn visible. The baking dish is placed on a wooden board, and part of a white marbled surface with some kitchen items such as forks and a colorful cloth with a floral pattern can be seen in the background.

FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole a few hours ahead and refrigerate it covered. Bake it just before serving, adding extra baking time if chilled.

Can I use fresh corn instead of canned?

Absolutely. Use about 1 ½ cups of fresh corn kernels for the canned corn. You may want to add a little extra creamed corn or sour cream to maintain moisture.
