How to make creamy corn pudding casserole using Jiffy cornbread mix.
As many of you know I record my videos about a month or so in advance. Therefore I was done recording all of my Christmas videos for the year. While recording, I kept thinking that I was forgetting something. I knew that I had overlooked a recipe, but I wasn’t sure which one. During a recent conversation with my friend Denise( from Be My Guest With Denise ..visit her, tell her Rosie sent ya 😉 ), she suggested that I should record a corn pudding video. I didn’t know what the heck she was talking about, but the way that she described it, it made my freaking mouth water.
After our conversation, I called my older cousin TJ, and asked him if he knew of such recipe. I wanted to know if I had ever had it ( I have a habit of making up names for stuff!) After talking to him, I realized that I have had it! I had no idea that it was called corn pudding. My butt had calling it ” that corn stuff” for years. LOL!! Anyways, I remembered that I made it one year, but I decided to NOT make it again, because it was a trigger food for me. Meaning, I damn near ate the whole dish… By myself! Oh, I am so ashamed!
Anywho. I decided to take take Denise’s suggestion, and make the corn pudding, aka that corn stuff for y’all.. Just don’t ask me how much I had. I just couldn’t help myself!
So what is corn pudding?
People make corn pudding so many different ways, so I will describe my corn pudding. This corn pudding is a creamy mixture of whole kernel corn, and cream corn. The corn is tossed is a sweet creamy mixture made of eggs, butter, flour, and more. Everything is tossed into a large bowl, then I whisk until it’s well combined. Once it is, it is then baked until it is golden brown. When done it has a “pudding” texture. Corn pudding while warm, and is usually served as a side dish ( like candied yams) during the holidays such as Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
So let’s make a grocery list for this easy corn casserole recipe cousins! These are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this sweet corn pudding casserole:
- creamed corn
- whole kernel corn, be sure to drain the liquid
- unsalted butter
- eggs
- sour cream
- sugar
- ground nutmeg
- pure vanilla extract
- 8.5 oz package of sweet corn bread mix( I usually use Jiffy Mix ) If you want to use a different brand, you certainly can. However, a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix is cheap and it does the job.
You can bake this casserole in a cast iron pan, or a casserole dish. Be sure to spray either dish, or pan with cooking spray before you pour in the creamed corn casserole
This isn’t a savory casserole. However, if you’d like a savory corn casserole check out my Tex Mex Corn Casserole recipe. It has peppers, cheddar cheese, and more. It also makes a great side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. Both casseroles have amazing flavor!
Warming up leftovers
This corn casserole can be kept in the refrigerator for several days after you make it. Store the leftovers in a airtight container, until you a ready to reheat. You can reheat this dish in the oven, or zap it in the microwave.

Hi Joe! Yes, it can be doubled?

Eating a whole pan of this stuff is easy to do. LOL
Indeed. He says he doesn’t need me to make it when he has Rosie lol. It’s all good thanks for your easy recipes Rosie. Maybe he can cook for a change
I love watching your videos! I’m a 19 year old college kid from Dallas Texas and have been watching you for a while! I’m going to make some of your recipes for my boyfriend Alex 🙂
Hi Ciara! I hope that you both like the recipes!
Can you make this ahead and reheat?
You sure can 🙂
What if I dont have creamed corn, is there a replacement for it?
Thnaks Rosie
HEY ROSIE GIRL 🙂
PLEASE DONT STOP MAKING THE VIDEO TUTORIALS.. IT REALLY HELPS ME AS WELL…
Hey rosie. I notice in your recipe direction says “1/2 a cup of sugar” and the picture above that list all the ingredients says “1 cup of sugar” .
Im not sure do i use 1 cup or an 1/2 a cup of sugar. Please let me know when u get a chance. Thank you rosie. Im a big fan of alll)lll your recipes.
P.s i made the turkey wings. It was to die for. My husband love it. Lol
OMG. Thanks for catching that. It’s 1/2 cup of sugar! 🙂
Hey Rosie. thank you for getting make to me. i made the corn pudding last night. i believe i use the whole 1 cup of sugar (i did try to scoop some out when i notice the direction was a little different from the picture direction). it still came out LOVELY :). my husband still enjoy it. but next i will make sure to use the 1/2 a cup…
thanks Rosie once again for the lovely, wonderful, and delicious recipes… i am going to try your mac and cheese next. I CANT WAIT.,….. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
What a remarkably, simple delicious recipe. I have made this dish several times since this past Christmas 2015 and now keep frozen portions readily available. It has replaced a former corn pudding recipe that I had used for many years. Thank you for providing such homey, tasteful dishes. It the recipes coming.
Hi Pamela! I’m glad that you like the recipe. Great idea! I should definitely make, and freeze some!
CAN u use jiffy mix
Yes you can.
Absolutely love all your recipes! I made this dish for a potluck and within a matter of minutes it was already gone! Some people were complaining that they didn’t even get a chance to try it out because it was gone too quickly. So at the next potluck I decided to make two trays and everyone absolutely loved it! Thanks so much for the recipe Rosie!!!!
YAY!!! So glad that you and the others liked the recipe! XOXO
Do I just mix in the cornbread mix directly out of the box or do I prepare it first as instructed on the box before adding into the corn mixture?
Please follow the recipe listed.
Hi, Rosie!
I happened on your website while looking for something. This looks similar to a recipe I had that I doctored up but yours look amazing. I like the fact that you show a video of how you make it. I am going to use your recipe instead of mine for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving dinner. Now, you said it can be reheated. For how long and at what temperature?
Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Sue. To be honest, I don’t have any rules for heating it up. I just heat it up until it reaches the temperature that I want.
Okay, thank you! I will let you know how it goes with the family. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Rosie,help! When I pulled it out of the oven, it didn’t look like yours. It looked more cake-like. The top won’t brown either. I followed it to the t. What can I do?
Hey Susie. I’m unsure. If the recipe was followed there shouldn’t be a issue :-/
Okay, then. I’m just putting it in for more time. It will just have to look more cake-like, I guess. I really don’t know what happened unless it’s because I used Jiffy mix which you said was okay. I couldn’t find any corn bread mix at my grocery store except for the Jiffy brand. 🙁
Do you think this would work if I added an extra can of niblet corn?
Adding to the recipe will change the texture.
Can I prep the night before and cook next day?
I actually never tried it.
I made this for thanksgiving this year and it was a HIT! I come from a white family but my boyfriend is black. I have had it at their house before but decieded to make it to bring to my family’s thanksgiving and they loved it! My grandma even asked me to send her the recipe! Thanks Rosie. Definitely will be adding it to my collection of recipes. P.S. I used jiffy cornbread mix and it came out great.
Hi Angelica! Glad that you liked the recipe hun! XOXO
Hi Rosie, I recently came across your page and have made a couple of your recipes and they have been a hit:-) I thank you for sharing. One of your recipes was the creamy corn pudding that I made for my family’s Christmas Eve dinner and they killed it (YUM-YUM)….Again, thank you and keep up the good work:-)
Hi Cee Cee! Glad that you liked the recipes!
Hi Rosie, Thank you for sharing this recipe! My group of friends have potlucks every month or so and I made this for a birthday potluck last night. The recipe was a huge hit! One friend even asked me to add your cornbread recipe to my “usual-recipe” list for other potlucks — so I will!
I look forward to trying more of your recipes 🙂
Glad that you liked the recipe! XOXO
Girl, Girl. Girl. As I eat my third small spoonful of corn pudding…I am mad at you (lol). It came out looking just like the picture and its very creamy. I had to cook mine for an additional 10 minutes – I think it’s my oven, not your recipe. I added a little more vanilla and I used a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg because I like the flavor of nutmeg. I cannot wait until I serve this at tomorrow’s Easter Dinner. (If it lasts that long)
FINALLY, someone else that loves nutmeg! I swear I put nutmeg in almost everything. LOL. I’m glad that you were able to adjust the recipe to your preference! XOXO
This is by far the best corn pudding that I’ve ever had!!!! My sceptical family loved, loved, loved It. It’s gone! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I will forever make and cherish It! Thanks!!!!!
Hi Krissy! I’m glad that you liked the recipe!
Made this for the first time a month ago. DELICIOUS! Just made it for a second time, equally delicious. Looked at a lot of recipes and the vanilla and nutmeg sold me on this one! If you’re looking for a good corn pudding recipe, look no further. This one truly is creamy and very tasty!
Hi Ellen! Thanks so much for trying my recipe!
This was a “sleeper”! I made it for as a side for dinner one day, not really expecting anything spectacular. . . it didn’t make it to the next day. Now, I have to make it every Thanksgiving. Who knew?! It’s so easy and SO good!
This recipe is amazing! I made this for my family they loved it!
So glad that you liked the recipe.
This is one of those dishes that tastes even BETTER the next day. Oh my goodness I was eating this all day and night LOL. I did end up having to cook this 10 minutes longer but it was probably just my wacky oven.
I agree! It’s totally addicting. Yes, some ovens are different than others 🙂
What can I substitute the sour cream for since I don’t
have any on hand right now
For best results, stick to the recipe listed 🙂
Hi, Rosie! After making your delicious baked macaroni and cheese, I cannot wait to make this for Thanksgiving! I know it will be good!!! Have you ever made this a day or two ahead and reheated? Wondering if it would be okay to do that or if I should make it fresh on the day of Thanksgiving. Thanks!
Hi Jay! I always make it the day of 🙂
Thanks, Rosie! I’ll be sure to do that! Can’t wait to make this on Thanksgiving!!!
Hi I made this corn pudding this evening as a trial run for thanksgiving. It was really good. I used sweet Martha Washington corn bread mix. I think it may have been just a tad toooo sweet. Which mix do you use?
Also do you use 2 sticks of melted butter?
Thank you I can’t wait to try your mac and cheese
Hi Connie, I used Jiffy 🙂
can you add shredded cheese on top or like green pepper or jalapeño on top or onion
This is a sweet casserole, that has vanilla, sugar, and etc. I don’t think cheese would be good in this one. However, I have a tex mex corn casserole with cheese 🙂
Hi Rosie! Is corn bread mix the same as cornmeal?? I have a ton of cornmeal that I would like to use up!
No, cornbread mix, and cornmeal are not the same.
Hi Rosie,
I made the corning pudding last night and it was amazing!!! It was a big hit and the entire family loved it, even my picky husband…thank you so much for sharing your recipes!
Thanks so much for trying Melissa! XOXO
Hi Rosie! I can’t wait to make this for thanksgiving. My boyfriend and I are spending it with just us two this year so I’m wondering if the leftovers should be kept on the counter or in the fridge? I wasn’t sure if it would dry out in the fridge or not. Thank you!!
Hi Molly! Definitely refrigerate the leftovers 🙂
Hi Rosie,
Tried this tonight and so yummo!!!!
I would love it if this could be made in the crockpot, have you tried it? Would you recommend it?
Happy Thanksgiving and god bless!!!
Yes, It would work in the crockpot 🙂
OMG! Amazing corn pudding. It was the hit of our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and now will be at every future one. Everyone raved about it. And so easy. Thanks for a great recipe!
I haven’t had Corn Pudding since I was a kid visiting family down south. So as I was planning this year’s Thanksgiving meal, I decided that I wanted to try and make corn pudding myself. My girls who have never tasted, nor heard of corn pudding was skeptical. I saw many recipes online, but decided yours sounded great with the addition of nutmeg. Well, I was not disappointed. It was delicious. It was home, if you know what that means. This recipe brought both my husband and myself back to the taste we remember when visiting our families down south. It was full of tradition and love. It was also a hit with our girls.
I will definitely be adding this recipe to our family Thanksgiving meals in the future.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rosie, I just wanted to say I tried your corn pudding recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner. This was something new to me and my family. I have never fixed this before and don’t think I’ve ever even tried corn pudding before. It was “THE BEST”!!! Soooo delicious. My family went crazy over it so guess what’s being added to our family meals AND traditions. Thank you very much for sharing all of your recipes.
Thanks so much for trying my recipe
Hi Rosie,
I am new to your site . Made this recipe for my daughter, husband, and, of course, us. I wanted to let you know that they devoured it. My son-in-law , who very seldom compliments me told my daughter she had better get this recipe. Thank you so much for getting me some mother-in-law points. Woohoo! I am making your broccoli casserole today. Smells delicious. You are not only a wonderful cook, you are also very pretty.
Old Mawmaw.
Awee!! Thanks so much for the compliment, and for trying my recipe! XOXO
Your corn pudding casserole was a hit. It cooked exactly the way I saw it on the video. The texture and color were accurate. Also, the nutmeg and vanilla gave it a pleasant feel. Again, your corn pudding casserole was the great!
So glad that you liked the recipe!
Hi Rosie,
I could only find the 7.4 ounce pack of sweet cornbread mix. Should I use that while keeping the ingredients the same? Thank you.
For best results, follow the recipe listed 🙂
Hey
I need to make enough to serve 60 people, I’m using it for a couples shower. What do you suggest?
Thanks!
That’s such a large amount. I’d probably make the recipe x5
Hi Rosie! Thanks for the great recipe! Do you cover the dish with aluminum foil or bake it without aluminum foil? Thanks so much!
Bake it uncovered 🙂
My hubby has perfected fried chicken so I thought it time to find an appropriately southern side dish. This looked so good I’m trying it tonight. Any humidity concerns when baking, my home is at the beach.
I just made this for the first time tonight and it was just so perfect. I baked mine for about 45 min. I also used a wisk which in my opinion made it absolutely perfect. Thank you for this. Now I know how to make it the right way.
OMG…I had this dish when I was in North Carolina at a BBQ spot. Since then I was craving it. I love your videos & stumbled upon this one – you took me back! It looks so amazing, I can’t wait to make it. Looks even better than the one I had lol I had a question, I have some family that don’t eat eggs – can I leave it out or is there something I have to substitute it with? Thanks!!!
This recipe requires eggs, but you can Google some egg substitutes, and give them a test run. 😉
We had a family dinner and i couldn’t find my usual recipe so I found this recipe. I made it exactly as posted (used Jiffy Cornbread) and it was delicious! Everyone loved it and none was left.
Hi Rosie i made this recipe as a test run this weekend for a future potluck gathering. Can I just say it’s AMAZING!!! Thanks for always giving me great recipes to try.
YAY!!! So glad that you liked the recipe!
For the one cup sour cream do you use a dry measuring cup or one for liquid?
Dry
At the first bite, my older son said, “Where has this been all my life? You’ve been holding out on me!” The whole family is crazy about it. I’m taking it to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Spreading the good eating around. Thank you. This one is a winner!
Thanks so much for trying Lee!
Hi Rosie,
Happy Thanksgiving!
One question…I see the recipe calls for 1 cup of melted butter, but in the video it looks like 1/2 cup of melted better. I know looks can be deceiving so I just want to confirm
Hi there! The written recipe is correct. Happy holidays.
Hi Rosie!
Happy belated Thanksgiving. I made this last Thursday for our Thanksgiving and it was a HIT! Even my 8 year old picky son enjoyed it and my husband ate it for every meal until it was gone.
This will be family staple for holidays going forward. Thank you for sharing your recipes, I look forward to making many more!!!! (already made the mac n cheese and southern cornbread dressing, both AMAZING TOO).
Thanks so much for trying Cynthia!
I’ve been making the same side dishes for Thanksgiving and Christmas for 40 years now. This recipe finally brought some new yummy flavor to our holiday dinners. Everyone loves this dish and we now have a new tradition! thanks!
Glad that you liked the recipe! XOXO
A new family favorite! Delicious!
THIS CORN PUDDING WILL BE MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHRISTMAS DINNER THIS YEAR.
I usually add shredded Chedder cheese but this year going to follow your recipe! ❤️❤️
