Easy creamed corn casserole is a buttery and creamy dish that’s a perfect Thanksgiving side and the absolute easiest casserole to make ever (and that’s saying a lot—casserole is notoriously easy!).
One of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes comes from one of my favorite people! We often made this recipe while we were in college and ate the whole pan for dinner; no turkey dinner was needed. But it does happen to go exquisitely with turkey if you need another Thanksgiving side dish on your table.
I don’t know about you, but even though turkey’s sort of the star of the show on Thanksgiving, I happen to dig the side dishes just as much, or maybe even more sometimes. And it’s because of sides like this: Rich and buttery and creamy, it’s reminiscent of a fluffy and super moist cornbread with real pieces of corn in it.

Recipe FAQs
Yes! This is a perfect make-ahead casserole that freezes wonderfully. Just follow the instructions to make it, and then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid to store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve, thaw it overnight and reheat in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.
Jiffy Mix is more than just cornmeal, so if you can’t find it, you’ll need a mix of 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
What is a substitute for creamed corn?
There’s no perfect sub for creamed corn, but if you can’t find it or don’t have any, you could try half a can of drained corn plus half a can of a creamy soup, like cream of mushroom or chicken.
Expert Tips
- Leave a few lumps behind when mixing the Jiffy cornbread mix with the other ingredients.
- If you don’t have creamed corn you can mix half a can of drained corn and half a can of cream of chicken soup to get the closest match.
- If you set the corn casserole batter in a warm place for 15 to 30 minutes, it will bubble, rise, and form a bit of a crust.
