Tips and Variations
When it comes to making holiday sides, easy and convenient wins the day. This Jiffy corn casserole recipe will come out perfectly every time with these tips and tricks! We’re also including a few variation ideas if you need them.
- Slow Cooker Option: If you’re looking to save space in the oven and have a bit of time, feel free to use a crockpot for this corn casserole recipe. The final produce will have a softer texture, but it’s still delicious. Mix all the recipe ingredients together and pour them into a slow cooker sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours stirring once halfway through. Serve warm and enjoy!
- Make Ahead: While this recipe really is as simple as mix and bake, you can prepare the casserole ahead of time to make your holidays even easier. Instead of baking the cornbread pudding, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for up to 48 hours. When ready to bake, let the dish warm up on the counter for at least 30 minutes to come closer to room temperature. Then bake as directed in the recipe.
- Add Some Sweetness: If you like a sweeter Jiffy corn casserole, just add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the mix. Remember that the cornbread mix has some sweetness already, so err on the side of caution here!
- Add An Egg: If you want to create a slightly lighter casserole, just add 2 beaten eggs. This will make this corn casserole recipe a little more ‘souffle-ish’.
