Christmas Dinner Easter Side Dish Thanksgiving

5 Ingredient Corn Casserole

Post

Happy New Year to all of our friends at Made From Pinterest!

We hope that you all had an amazing holiday season and that you are looking forward to the upcoming new year. It is always exciting to think about what the new year has in store!

One of my favorite things about the holidays being over is that everything slows down. It is winter (meaning COLD where we live!), it gets dark early and there’s not much better on a cold winter night than a family gathered around the dinner table to share a meal. It’s one of my absolute favorite things.

5 Ingredient Corn Casserole {Tastes of Lizzy T}

One of our favorite side dishes to have when we sit down together is this simple 5 Ingredient Corn Casserole. This dish is so simple, it’s nearly impossible to mess up.

Here’s the 5 ingredients:

1. 1 can of corn

2. 1 can of creamed corn

3. 1 cup of sour cream

4. 1 stick of butter

5. 1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix

Easy, right?

You’re going to throw all of those ingredients in a bowl and mix them up. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

What comes out is an amazingly creamy side dish that is the perfect complement to just about any meal. We like eating this with everything from Mexican dishes to classics like lasagna or meatloaf.

And what’s better? Even the kids love it. You can’t beat that!

5 Ingredient Corn Casserole {Tastes of Lizzy T}

Family memories made in winter often have much to do with food–the time spent together preparing and eating it. This dish is truly winter-time comfort food for our family. We hope that it becomes a favorite for your family, too!

5 Ingredient Corn Casserole {Tastes of Lizzy T}

5 Ingredient Corn Casserole

1 (8 ounce) box Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn (not drained)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together and pour into a greased 8″x8″ casserole dish.
Cook uncovered for 50 minutes or until lightly browned.

Enjoy!

    I don’t have the jiffy cornbread mix but I do have two envelopes of corn kits. Can I use one of those?

      I had to look up what a Corn Kit was to answer your question. We don’t have those in my neck of the woods. Or maybe we do and I have not found them! I think it would work fine, Melissa. Jiffy Corn Bread mix is 8.5 ounces, while it looks to me like Corn Kits are 6 ounces. You might want to add 3 tablespoons of flour or cornmeal to balance that out (1 Tablespoon = 1/2 ounce), but even without it I think the difference will be negligible. Enjoy the Corn Casserole! We love hearing from you.

    Sherri: i had 2 pkg of Corn Kits so I measured out the equivalent of 1 jiffy mix and it was delicious. I am preparing one right this minute to take to my parents this afternoon. This time I bought Jiffy mix. We’re having pulled pork sandwiches, smoked potatoe salad and this delicious corn casserole. Thanks for the delicious recipe.

    I followed the recipe but after 30 minutes it was still raw so I kept sticking it back in. Ended up with overlooked top and raw middle. Is it suppose to be covered? My second attempt at corn casserole and second time I have had to throw it out. ๐Ÿ™ looked like burnt pudding. Ew

      Lea, I’m so sorry that this didn’t work. We recently found out that the recipe was not accurate. We contacted the original owner of the recipe and she said that it is supposed to cook for 50 minutes and not 30. We have now changed that in the recipe instructions.

      I am making this 2 different ways this year. One batch I’m making in a crockpot. Just cook on high for about 5 hours and you’re good to go. For that one I’ve subbed gluten free corn bread mix because one of my co-workers is gluten intolerant. Then my 2nd batch is being made in the oven like the recipe calls for. Can’t wait to see how they both turn out!

    Family favorite. Now I have to double the recipe. One batch wasn’t enough. Took it to a Thanksgiving dinner and normally what we bring we have to take the left overs home except for the corn casserole. Their kids loved it so much they wanted the left overs. Making it for our Christmas Eve get together.

    I’ve made this for decades, and it never fails. Just a few notes: (1) Unless you are dining alone, or wish to serve only two or three people who are over 75 years of age and skinny or under the age of three, make a double batch in a 9×13 pan. Failure to do so could result in fisticuffs of some sort, regardless how polite the folks at your table usually are. (2) Male sure to add a small can of green chilies, drained. They will not add heat and WILL add brightness to the flavor and color to the casserole. Alternatively add a chopped sweet green, red, or orange pepper. (3) DO add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese, mild, medium, or sharp. Experiment with which you like best. (4) Melt the butter before adding it to the other ingredients. Who says delicious things have to take all day slaving over a hot stove? They just have to TASTE like it! Now get out of here while I go fix me some of this!

    This was great! I had some cottage cheese that was going to expire soon so instead of the full cup of sour cream I put in the rest of the cottage cheese (ended up being about 2/3 cup) and then 1/3 cup sour cream to make a full cup total. It came out nice and my husband really liked it. Thank you!

      It shouldn’t be gooey, but shouldn’t be too dense, either! Did you mix it by hand or mixer? I’ve tried both in the past and have found that mixing by hand creates the consistency I want when cooked. Perhaps it could be the type of sour cream you are using as well. Hope this helps! Happy Thanksgiving! (Side note, I like to add a little paprika on top for some added color and zing) ๐Ÿ™‚

      How did this turn out for you Erika? What you described is exactly how mine looks when I make it so I’m hoping it was perfect for you!

      I have never made it without sour cream but my best guess is that it will change the recipe too drastically and won’t turn out. However, I do think that you might be able to substitute some greek yogurt and get the same results. Hopefully that works!

    Do you think it is okay to prepare/mix everything night before and then to cook the next day? I make this every year and it is a huge hit – but trying to smarten up my time a little this year and make whatever I can the day before to avoid whatever chaos I can ๐Ÿ™‚

      Although I haven’t done this, I have certainly thought about it and I think it will work just fine! Maybe take it out a little bit before baking so that it’s not quite so cold? We had this for Thanksgiving this year and it always disappears!

    This is my new favorite side dish! Made it for Thanksgiving and taking it to work today for our Christmas luncheon. Make it following this recipe exactly and you can’t go wrong. Thank you for sharing!

    Made this today for a family Christmas gathering. After 1 hour and 17 mins on 350 it still wasn’t done. Runny as all get out. I ended up scrapping it and not taking anything. Bummer.
