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.

Variations and Substitutions
Jalapeno peppers – If you want to add some heat, add one chopped pepper. If you want it hotter, try using a Serano pepper.
Bacon – Add chopped crispy bacon to add some salty smoked flavor.
Fresh herbs – If you have fresh herbs, add some chopped chives, thyme, or minced green onions.
Sweeter – Add up to 1/4 cup granulated or brown sugar for a sweeter casserole. You can also serve it drizzled with maple syrup or honey.
Tips and Tricks
