Ingredient Notes and Tips

Whole Kernel Corn (15 oz can): Make sure to drain this well! Extra liquid can make your casserole too watery. You can also use frozen corn (thawed and drained) or fresh corn kernels.

Creamed Corn (14.75 oz can): This is what gives our casserole its creamy, rich texture. Don’t skip this ingredient – it’s the secret to the perfect consistency.

Sour Cream (1 cup): Use full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture. Greek yogurt can work as a substitute, but sour cream gives the creamiest results.

Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (8.5 oz box): This is what makes this recipe so easy! The mix adds sweetness and helps bind everything together. Any brand of corn muffin mix will work.

Chopped Onion (1/4 cup): Adds a subtle savory flavor. You can use yellow, white, or sweet onions. For a milder taste, sauté the onions first.

Large Egg: Creates a lighter texture and binds our ingredients together.

How to Make Easy Scalloped Corn

Making this simple corn casserole couldn’t be easier! With just 5 ingredients, here’s the step-by-step process:

1: Start by heating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9×9 baking dish. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

2: In a large mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients. Don’t overmix – just stir until everything is well combined. The batter will be thick but pourable.

3: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. The surface doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth.

4: Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The exact time depends on your oven, so start checking at 45 minutes.

Pro Tip: Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps it set up and makes it easier to cut into neat squares.

Delicious Variations

Cheesy Scalloped Corn: Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture for extra richness. Sprinkle more cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Sweet Corn Casserole: Mix in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar for a sweeter version that’s perfect for holiday tables.

Spicy Kick: Add one diced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.

Thick and Hearty: Use an 8×8 baking dish instead of 9×9 for thicker, more substantial pieces.

How to Store Your Corn Casserole

Refrigerator: Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container.

Freezer: This casserole freezes beautifully! Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating: Warm individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or reheat the whole dish in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
