Delicious – Similar in taste to this sweet corn cake, this dish has a hint of sweetness that really brings out the corn flavor.
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.

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.

The most delicious corn dish I’ve ever had! My wife previously HATED corn, I made her try this and she went back for seconds!
So easy, and SO GOOD! Pure comfort food and a real people pleaser.
So happy you enjoyed it!
This is more than delicious. What a hit at Thanksgiving dinner! Everyone kept asking about the dish with corn in it. Completely gone and I did a double pan. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
I have made this twice now and and its so butterry, soft, with great corn flavored and just the right amount of sweetness! I subbed sour cream for plain non fat greek yogurt the second time and I can’t taste the difference! Texture is the same and now it has more protein! Great recipe.
Everything loved it
Can I use 9×13 for single recipe
Yes a 9×13 will work for this recipe.
I love this recipe, and have made it my own. Substitute 2 pounds frozen corn and I cup heavy whipping cream for the canned corn, and omit the sugar. Sometimes I add chopped scallions or chives.
Made this last night for dinner. It is wonderful. Needs the sugar if calling Corn Pudding
Can you mix this up ahead of time? Like overnight…if you refrigerate it.
Yes, I think this would be fine if you mixed it ahead of time and bake the next day.
If I double this recipe, how long should I bake it?
If you double the recipe, use a 9×13 dish and still bake for 40-45 minutes or until it starts to turn slightly golden brown on top.
What could I use in place of the sour cream? I also made funeral potatoes and used the rest of my sour cream. 🤦♀️
