Corn Casserole for the Holidays
Corn Casserole for the Holidays is definitely a family favorite recipe. It is a sweet and savory, corn bread-like side dish that is super delicious and very easy to make.
I don’t remember how Corn Casserole became a standard Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner staple in our family. I just know that whenever our family is talking about our holiday dinner it is a given that I will be bringing corn casserole. It is never going to be confused with a vegetable side dish, but it is the most delicious part of Thanksgiving or Christmas. I guarantee there won’t be any leftovers. Not just corn and not quite corn bread, this classic comfort food is something very delicious in its own right. This is definitely a family favorite! (And is so easy to make too.) Give it a try, you won’t be sorry!
Ingredients you will need
- Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix: This recipe calls for a single box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. It adds just the right amount of corn bread texture to this vegetable casserole side-dish.
- Canned Corn: We like the sweet flavor of this dish and usually pick the Sweet Corn.
- Creamed Corn: Any brand of creamed corn will work.
- Sour Cream: The sour cream adds some moisture and helps make a nice and fluffy casserole.
- Butter: We use a Sweet Cream Salted Butter for our sweet and savory recipes. You will need to melt the butter before adding it to the batter.
- Cheese: We like to use Cheddar Cheese but you can use your favorite cheese like a Monterey Jack Cheese, a Mexican Cheese, Swiss Cheese, a Colby Jack Cheese or even a Gruyère Cheese would taste great.

Expert Tips and FAQ’s
Not necessarily. If you have someone who is lactose intolerant in the family you definitely can leave out the sour cream without any other adjustments to the recipe. We have done this many times. The flavor of the Corn Casserole is exactly the same but the texture is a little bit different, the casserole is not as light and fluffy as when you do use the sour cream.
This is a great idea. We’ve added ground Italian Sausage to our corn casserole many times. Just add the sausage to the batter after it is mixed. You could also add bacon, green chiles, red peppers, green onions, or ham.
The recipe calls for a standard 9×13″ baking dish. But for a holiday dinner, we’ve used large round decorative baking dishes too. The casserole will be a little thicker but it tastes just as yummy.
We get this question a lot. This is a dump and mix recipe (it just takes a few minutes to make the batter) so you are not really saving a ton of time by making that ahead of time and cooking the casserole the day of your big dinner. I don’t think the uncooked batter holds up well in the refrigerator. If timing is an issue for Thanksgiving dinner, I would suggest baking the corn casserole the day before and then re-heating it prior to serving it. Cook the casserole as directed in the recipe but don’t add the cheese to the top. Wait and add the cheese for the last 10 minutes of the reheating process.
Nope. Although we would like to remind you that melted cheese is very yummy!
At least a week. Store it in the pan you baked it in, covered with aluminum foil or in an airtight plastic container. It heats up great in the microwave.
Of course, anything can be frozen but we don’t really recommend it for this recipe. It is so easy to make that we suggest that you make it fresh when you get the hankering for a yummy corn-based comfort food.
