This side dish is also called Jiffy corn casserole, corn souffle, or creamed corn casserole. It has many different names, but they all have one thing in common—deliciousness! It is often served on major US holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The reason it’s easy is because it’s a classic Midwest semi-homemade casserole! It combines Jiffy corn muffin mix with creamed corn, corn kernels, cheese, butter, sour cream, and an egg.
Serve it with 3-Ingredient Instant Pot Ham, Air Fryer Chicken Legs, or simply serve it by itself and enjoy it straight out of the dish. There is no judgment here.
