Easy Cream Corn Casserole 

 I try to avoid using cake mixes, canned soups and other packaged products when I cook. But on the 4th of July, one of our neighbors brought her corn casserole recipe to the potluck gathering. We all wanted the recipe.

She laughed and said we wouldn’t believe how easy it was. Who doesn’t need more simple recipes in their repertoire?? As Thanksgiving approaches,  I decided to give this Jiffy corn casserole a trial run.


Thanksgiving Menu

Do you have a set Thanksgiving menu? I have a little room to play, but there are a few must-make dishes. There’s the turkey, of course, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. Spinach souffle is one vegetable side and the other is up for grabs! We have my great-grandmother’s fruit salad, which is loaded with whipped cream and marshmallows with enough fruit to earn the salad moniker. Dessert includes pumpkin pie and usually a chocolate pie, but any chocolate dessert will do. This year, this corn may be our second veggie, in the form of this Jiffy corn casserole!


Tips for Making This Corn Casserole Recipe

This is a pretty cut and dry recipe for a cream corn casserole. Mix everything together, dump and bake! But, as with all recipes, you can tweak it a bit.

  • Had I planned ahead, I would have frozen some fresh sweet corn cut off the cob. Indiana has marvelous local corn and it would definitely be a fabulous addition. It would need to be cooked first, plus the liquid that would have been added from the canned corn would need to be replaced.


  • Cheddar or Monterey jack cheese and a can of chopped green chiles would make this into a spicy corn casserole. Maybe not for Thanksgiving, but it sounds good to me! I’d probably cut down the added sugar with this adaptation.


  • Add an extra egg if you want a lighter, more souffle-like casserole.
