Description

This award-winning Jiffy Corn Casserole is a deliciously creamy and cheesy side dish, perfect for holiday dinners or family gatherings. Combining the sweetness of whole kernel and creamed corn with the savory flavors of sautéed onion, green bell pepper, and pimentos, topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese, this casserole bakes to a golden, firm perfection that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Vegetables & Peppers

  • 1 large onion, diced
  • ½ large green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, with liquid
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can creamed corn
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 pint sour cream

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix

Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan to prepare for the casserole.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and pimento peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes, enhancing their flavors and softening them for the casserole.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, diced green chiles, whole kernel corn with its liquid, creamed corn, and eggs. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture thoroughly to evenly distribute all flavors.
  4. Prepare Casserole Base: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the corn mixture. Then sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the sour cream layer for a creamy, cheesy finish.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake until it's lightly browned on top and firm in the center, about 45 minutes. This ensures a creamy texture with a golden crust.

Notes

  • Choose green chile peppers based on your preferred spice level—mild, medium, or hot—to customize the casserole's heat.
  • This casserole is an excellent side dish for holidays and family dinners, pairing beautifully with roasted meats or other main courses.
  • Use a 9x13-inch baking dish to accommodate the volume and to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving for easier slicing and better flavor melding.
