Why is it called corn pudding?

Southern corn pudding casserole is a creamy and slightly sweet dish made with cream corn, corn kernels, and a mixture of sugar, egg, and more. It’s referred to as pudding because of the creamy consistency.

Ingredients needed

Jiffy Mix – The secret ingredient is a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix. This makes the recipe so easy and acts as a great base.

Whole Kernel Corn – This recipe uses canned corn kernels, drained. You can also use fresh or frozen corn.

Creamed Corn – Use a can of cream corn to add extra sweetness and creaminess.

Sour Cream – You can use full or low-fat sour cream.

Sugar – A little sugar adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the dish. You can leave it out completely or reduce it to a couple of tablespoons.

Egg – Just one egg is needed for this recipe. It’s best to let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes.

Butter – Unsalted butter that is melted before combining with the corn mixture.

How to make Jiffy corn pudding

Step one: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step two: In a large mixing bowl, stir together Jiffy corn muffin mix, egg, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, sugar, and sour cream. Slowly stir in melted butter.

Step three: Pour the mixture into an 8×8 casserole dish and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.

Recipe tips

• You will know when the pudding is done cooking when the top starts to turn slightly golden brown and the center is set, or doesn’t jiggle.
• This recipe can be easily doubled for a large crowd. Replace a 8×8 baking dish with a 9×13-inch dish.
• When combining ingredients, let the hot melted butter cool for a few minutes so that it doesn’t scramble the egg.

Variations

• You can leave out the sugar for a more savory flavor.
• Try adding some shredded cheese into the mixture.
• Like a little heat? Try adding a can of diced green chilies or diced jalapenos into the mix.
• You can add in a little color with diced green onions.
• Like yours a little sweeter? Try topping the corn pudding with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

How to store

Store: Make sure to let the casserole cool. You can then cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil. You can also scoop the leftovers into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to reheat.

Reheat: Reheat in the oven and 350 degree F. I like to cover with foil while reheating so it doesn’t burn on top. You can also scoop out an individual serving and reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot.
