The #1 Tip for Making Jiffy Corn Pudding

Don’t over mix – overmixing can cause the pudding to be tough. So, when you add your ingredients, mix enough to combine, and that’s all you need to do.

How Do I Make The Corn Pudding with Jiffy Mix?

  1. Start by adding an egg to a medium-sized bowl and beat it a little.
  2. Next, add the creamed corn.
  3. Drain the liquid (and get rid of the liquid) off of the can of whole kernel corn and add the corn to the bowl.
  4. Add the sour cream and mix well.
  5. Finally, add the box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and mix well.
  6. Pour the melted butter into a greased 8″ x 8″ baking dish.
  7. Add the Jiffy mixture to the baking dish and bake for one hour.

Step-By-Step Instructions

An egg in a glass bowl.

Sour cream in a glass bowl with corn.

Add the sour cream to the bowl and mix well.

The egg and the sour cream are going to add some moisture to the dish, and it really adds a lot of flavor.

Finally, add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix to the bowl and mix well.

Pouring melting butter into a baking dish.

Melt the butter and pour it into a greased 8″ x 8″ (or 9″ x 9″) baking dish.

I used a stoneware baking dish for this recipe, but a glass dish or a cast-iron skillet will work perfectly for the recipe.

I happened to use a 9″ x 9″ dish, but 8″ x 8″ will work perfectly, as well.

You can grease the pan with some nonstick cooking spray.

Add the Jiffy mixture to the casserole dish and spread it out a little. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.

I just let the butter go where it wanted to go, and it turned out so good. Such great butter flavor throughout.

The easy dish cooks up a golden brown top layer that is divine.

TIP: Be sure to place a cookie sheet underneath the baking dish, as the butter can sometimes run over).

Optional Ingredients

You can add different ingredients to the Jiffy cornbread mix to give your side dish a different flavor. The recipe is perfect for holiday dinners (it’s a holiday staple around our house) or any gathering.

  1. Miz Helen says:

    I just love this recipe, it is a must at fall meals! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday,501!
    Miz Helen

  2. Just for clarity’s sake: what do you do with the corn in the can of whole-kernel corn – do you save it for another use?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      I just looked at what I wrote and it’s confusing. Sorry! I get rid of the liquid and use the whole kernel corn. I will go back and write it to make more sense. Thank you!

    2. Becky Studebaker says:

      @Miriam, you use the entire can of BOTH the whole kernel corn and the cream cornโ€ฆ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ’›

  3. I’m curious as to why you would grease a pan that you are then going to pour melted butter into. Couldn’t you just make sure the sides get coated with butter by tilting the pan?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Jeff,

      Great question! You can tilt the pan and that would work. I always use non-stick spray out of habit and because I don’t want to scrub a pan in case I don’t get it all covered.

  4. Micheale Gordon says:

    Made this to go with fish tacos.
    Used Mexican Sour Cream and added about 1/4 cup sugar to the recipe (I had a pretty spicy salsa that I was using this dish to help moderate that heat).
    Sharing this recipe with my friends!

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Sounds so good, and what a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing it!

  5. Can this be doubled? and what size pan is best for that?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Karin, the recipe can be doubled. I would use a 9″ x 13″ baking dish. You might have to cook it a few minutes longer. Hope you enjoy it!

    2. @Julie Pollitt, to double just use 2 cans each creamed + regular corn. Do not double the other ingredients or it will never get done.

  6. Karen Johnson says:

    This is our family favorite but be careful. I did everything to the T for this recipe but my butter overflowed while cooking and made a huge mess in the bottom of my oven. All while cooking other things. Had to have doors open to air out. Next time will use a cookie sheet underneath the dish. Iโ€™ve never had this happen. It was weird. The dish itself was awesome though๐Ÿ˜‚

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Oh no! That’s not fun at all. I will have to add that into the recipe to add a cookie sheet underneath. I do that with a lot of my recipes. Thanks for sharing!

    2. Jacque Shadle says:

      @Julie Pollitt, I just add the butter to the casserole itself. It has never failed. Also, I have never put an egg in the recipe.

      1. Julie Pollitt says:

        Thanks for the tip!

    3. @Jacque Shadle, I put 2 eggs in and the requisite butter amount in the recipe, only in the bottom of a 9×9 glass pan, and it doesn’t overflow into the cookie sheet and makes the whole thing just a slight tad cake-ier, which is amazing.

    4. @Karen Johnson, Good to know – thank you!

  7. Christianne says:

    Can you make it without the creamed corn?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Christianne, you can! It will work just as well without the creamed corn. You can also add another can of whole kernel corn if you’d like to, in place of the creamed corn. Enjoy!

  8. Can you use two cans of creamed corn instead of whole corn?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Chris, I haven’t used two cans of cream corn. It might work, but it might not cook as well because of all of the liquid in the can of creamed corn. I’d probably just use one of each. Hope that helps!

      1. Julie can I use frozen whole kernel corn or fresh vs canned? If so, how much would you use?

        1. Julie Pollitt says:

          Hi Vicki,

          You can use fresh or frozen. It will probably be more crunchy, if frozen. I would use the same amount – 14 ounces. I hope you love it!

    2. I use cheddar cheese on top sometimes delicious, put it on about 5 minutes before it finished!

      1. Julie Pollitt says:

        Sounds fantastic!!

  9. Can this be prepared the day you want to bake it?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Definitely. It’s best if you can prepare it and cook it the same day. Enjoy!

  10. 5 stars
    I’ve been making Corn Pudding for many years and I’ve never had one this delicious! Took it to a church dinner last night, there were 2 other corn puddings there, but this one was a HIT!!! So delicious! Thank you!!!

  11. L. Smiley says:

    I want to prepare the ingredients and refrigerate over night and then bake it the following morning but what do I do with the jiffy? Can i add it to the mix and then refrigerate or do I add the jiffy the following morning just before it goes into the oven? Does it make a difference one way or the other?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi! Great question. I would go ahead and wait to add the Jiffy just before baking, that way, you will get a little bit of the gritty texture of cornbread. Hope you love it!

  12. Can you add meat to this or would that throw the texture off?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      I think adding meat would taste great, but the texture will be a little different.

  13. Rick Starr says:

    This is similar to a recipe I got from my Mom’s recipe box that I inherited. I add about a 1/4 cup of diced onion and a couple of diced jalapeno peppers (without seeds) for a little extra kick. Great side dish with jambalaya.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Sounds like great additions. Thanks for sharing, we will have to try that!

    2. @Rick Starr, I just found this recipe today. I am making it as a side to pork ribs. I already had it in mind to add diced onion and jalapeรฑo! I am so glad great minds think alike.

  14. I make this every year for Thanksgiving.I add smoked oysters as well to please my father.This is truly a family favorite!

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Such a great addition!

  15. Can I substitute something for the sour cream? My stomach can’t tolerate it.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Rhonda, you can use Greek yogurt or plan yogurt. Will that work?

  16. Thanks for this yummy recipe. I’ve made it before, but I want to double it for a holiday meal. Is an hour baking time long enough for a double batch?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      It should be, but you might want to check with a cake tester or knife to see if it’s done at the hour mark. If not, cook it a little longer. If it starts to get too brown on top, cover with some tinfoil to help keep it from getting too brown. Thanks!

  17. May i add sugar? If so his much should i add?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      You can add sugar. I would add about one to two teaspoons.

    2. @Dya, I add some honey to mine and people love it!!

  18. What did you bake it at? Canโ€™t find degrees?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Toni,

      You can bake it at 350-degrees. It’s listed in the instructions section. I hope you love it!

  19. I’ve made this recipe in a baking dish as instructed and it was delicious! The next time I made it, I melted the butter in a cast iron dish and brought up to temp in the oven and then poured the batter over top and baked as directed. I must say, if you can and have it available, the cast iron gives it a crust that is to die for. It took this dish right over the top

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      I love it in the cast iron skillet, too. Thanks for sharing!

  20. Leave the sour cream out of this and it’s x10 better.

    1. @Layne, I canโ€™t do sour cream and was wondering if it could be left out or if I needed to substitute it with Greek yogurt. You left it out entirely?

    2. @Emily, I always use Greek yogurt!

  21. Just made this and it left a puddle of butter on top leaving it looking moist and uncooked in certain places. I wonder what went wrong?? Did this happen to anyone else? Any tips?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Was the top around the edges cooked? How long did you cook it for?

  22. I add a small can of chilli peppers for a little extra zing!

  23. Emily F Zimmerman says:

    Thanks for sharing. I have saved your recipes.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Thanks so much, Emily!

  24. 5 stars
    I made this for a small group potluck, in my cast iron skillet. I followed the recipe exactly. It was a huge hit and absolutely delicious. Just a hint of sweet but the melted butter made it oh-so-savory…perfect texture….a bit of tang from the sour cream…I will certainly make this again and again for future meetings.

  25. The recipes should be ridden with amounts and instructions together. There are too many recipes, general information, and guidelines jammed together.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Margaret,

      If you scroll to the bottom you will find a recipe card with all of the information together. A lot of readers like to see the step-by-step photos. You can also click the “Jump To Recipe” button at the top and it will take you right to the recipe card.

  26. LORI SAXTON says:

    Certainly hard to go wrong with these ingredients. Even some of my family members who are not fans of regular cornbread, enjoy this. Here is my version and I am a fan. I am nearly never without some of it in the fridge:

    (Watching my calories so:)

    1 can creamed corn
    1 can of Margaret Holmes Tomatoes, Okra and Corn UNDRAINED
    1 small or medium can of green chiles, mild or medium UNDRAINED
    2 eggs
    1 box jiffy
    1 c nonfat plain Greek yogurt

    Optional : tsp minced jarred garlic, onion powder, a shake or two of paprika

    In a 9×9 or 8×8 ” lightly greased baking dish, bake at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes or until top is sufficiently cracked but not hard.

    Other variations I have used are a triple succotash blend which substitutes lima beans for the okra.

    Honestly, in my opinion, as long as you maintain the appropriate level of moisture, feel free to use any can of veggies, undrained. I have substituted yellow squash/vidalia onions or asparagus, “hoppin John” which, canned, is pretty much black eyed peas and onions and red peppers. Just don’t leave out that creamed corn.

    And I do NOT miss the butter at all.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Thanks so much for this, Lori! Such great additions!

  27. No reason to pour the butter in the pan 1st. Mix it in with the other ingredients + pour it all into buttered or oiled pan.

  28. Brenda Krigner-Himmelrick says:

    5 stars
    We love this and have been making it for several years.

  29. Can you add two cans of corn (instead of one can) along with the creamed corn so that it is “cornier”. Thanks

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Glenda, I honestly am not sure. I haven’t tried that. But, I’m never against things that add more corn. If you decide to try, let me know how it turns out.

  30. shaheen khatri says:

    I recently tried making Corn Pudding following a recipe I found, and it was a delightful surprise! The dish turned out creamy, slightly sweet, and had a wonderful balance of flavors.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Great to hear!

  31. Betty Quigkey says:

    Can this recipe be doubles to make a 9×13 pan

  32. Betty Quigkey says:

    That should have been doubled not doubles. Sirry

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      That’s ok! I knew what you meant. You can double this and use a 9×13 pan. It will probably take less time to bake, so check about 15 minutes early and see if it’s done. Keep baking if not quite done. Hope you love it!

  33. Love this recipe so much!! I have to triple it this year and use a foil pan, any tips?!

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      That’s great to hear! If you triple it and it’s in a large pan, it might get done cooking faster, so be sure to check it early. Happy Thanksgiving!

  34. Love this recipe I doubled it and made one pan just regular and the other pan. I added diced chilies to it before baking. My family loved it, especially the one with chilies. So easy.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      So glad to hear you all loved it!

  35. I have made this several times. It is delicious. The prep time is more than 5 minutes. Just getting out the ingredients and opening containers takes more than 5 minutes. Total prep time is more like 15 minutes.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      So glad you like it! Iโ€™ll note that. Thank you!

  36. Excellent recipe and always a crowd pleaser!!! This Xmas I added 1/4 block (2oz) cream cheese and a touch of honey and I think it brought it up another notch.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Ooohhhh, that sounds good! I will try it that way.

  37. 5 stars
    We made this for Christmas and Thanksgiving! Love it so much. Making again for a special treat this cold weekend.

  38. wilhelmina says:

    This turned out just like the corn casserole I grew up with. I have made it twice already since finding the recipe!!

  39. This was just such a decadent Jiffy Corn Pudding! We loved how well it went with our slow cooker meal.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      So glad you loved it!

  40. 5 stars
    Easy recipe that is totally scrumptious

  41. My mom sent me this recipe and insisted that I try it. We have a new favorite. It’s so easy to make with the Jiffy mix and the sour creamy makes it extra delicious.

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Thanks Missy! So glad you loved it!

  42. queticogirl says:

    Do NOT make this in an 8×8 inch pan! I made this exact recipe and it was like 2.5 inches tall. They even say put a cookie sheet under it to catch spills. NO. Use a bigger pan. Corn pudding is NOT supposed to be that thick. By using a larger pan it will be the correct thickness AND you will have more crust on the top. My family agreed. It was too thick. Trust me!

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi, thanks for the tip! I think it’s all dependent on how thick you like it. If you like it thinner, you can definitely use a larger pan.

  43. I tried this not knowing how I’d feel about it, and absolutely loved it! So good!

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      So glad you love it! Definitely one of my favorite side dishes.

  44. Havenโ€™t tried it yet but pudding is usually sweet. Creamed corn is the only thing a little sweet besides the corn meal. Can I put honey in and how much?

    1. Julie Pollitt says:

      Hi Timothy,

      This is actually a little bit sweet because it uses Jiffy and Jiffy is a little sweet. If you wanted to add honey you could either drizzle it over the top when it’s done baking or add two to three tablespoons to the batter before baking. I haven’t added honey to the batter, but that amount should make it sweeter. Hope that helps!
