Substitutions or Additions

The one thing about a simple family recipe like this one is you can easily substitute or add on ingredients your specific family enjoys.

  • Sprinkle a little bit of chopped green onion on top for flavor and and prettiness.
  • If you don’t have canned corn just use frozen. I would thaw ahead of time and then dry with a paper towel so the corn doesn’t add too much liquid.
  • If you only have one type of corn just use two cans of it!
  • Have a sweet tooth like me? Just sprinkle a little sugar into the mixture and it’ll taste more like a dessert!
  • You can always mix it up with the cheese. If you like it spicy try a pepper jack cheese. If you want it a little more mild use a mild cheddar or even shredded provolone or Swiss. For a little more spice add green chiles or even jalapeños.
  • f you don’t have sour cream on hand you can substitute cream cheese for a thicker and tangier taste.

FAQs about Jiffy Corn Casserole

I realize that many people call this recipe corn pudding rather than cheesy corn casserole. Corn casserole is a holiday staple in the Southern and Midwestern United States, but it is less common dish in the rest of the world.

Usually these are two words for the same basic dish. I think of this easy corn casserole recipe with a firmer texture and corn pudding as softer. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what you call it, this recipe is delish!

You can assemble this recipe ahead of time (perfect for a holiday meal!) and just cook in the baking dish right before serving.

Refrigerate after making and store in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil! I kinda forgot this and we ate on it a couple days. Nobody got sick but I wouldn’t chance it since there’s dairy in it!

  1. I can’t eat corn due to my allergies, but my family makes this every Thanksgiving. They love it. You did a great job, looks delicious.

  2. This looks yummy! My favourite family recipe is my grandmother’s chicken soup; it’s like a warn hug – lol!

  3. Your corn recipe sounds like something we would really enjoy Marty. Nothing beats good old fashioned comfort food and a fur baby cuddle or two. Thanks for the recipe, I’ve pinned it so we can give it a try later this week.
