Recipe Tips
For the most delicious and perfectly moist corn casserole.
- What’s the best way to serve this casserole? This dish has a texture that’s a cross between a moist cornbread and a corn pudding. It’s a “spoonable” casserole, so it’s best served with a large spoon directly from the baking dish.
- Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, this is a fantastic make-ahead dish for parties. You can bake it completely, let it cool, and then cover and refrigerate it. Reheat it, covered with foil, in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through.
- How spicy is this casserole? Using diced pickled jalapeños provides a pleasant, tangy heat rather than a fiery one. For a milder version, you can reduce the amount of jalapeños. For a spicier casserole, you can add more or use fresh, minced jalapeños instead.
- Can I add cheese? Absolutely! Stirring in a cup of shredded sharp cheddar or a Monterey Jack cheese into the batter before baking is a very popular and delicious variation.

FAQs
Can I use fresh or frozen corn?
Yes. You can substitute the canned corn with about 3 cups of fresh or frozen (and thawed) corn kernels. You may want to add an extra 1/4 cup of sour cream or milk to the batter to account for the lack of liquid from the canned corn.
What if I can’t find corn muffin mix?
If you can’t find a box of corn muffin mix, you can make your own by whisking together 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes, you can easily double all the ingredients and bake the casserole in a larger 9×13-inch baking dish. The cooking time should be roughly the same, but it’s always a good idea to check for doneness with a toothpick in the center.
