It's the perfect complement to a nice ham or turkey dinner. And just like ourMexican corn casserole, it has bacon too. Because we all know, bacon makes everything better!
We also make this corn casserole with Jiffy mix. It gives it a kind of breading but in a very moist, delicious sort of way, and it's all mixed in with the rest of the ingredients.
What you end up with is a very creamy, flavorful, cheesy side dish you'll likely add to your holiday menu from henceforth and forevermore.
I like to make it in my slow cooker too, making it easy to transport and keep warm. In fact, I might love CrockPot corn casserole a tad bit more, if that's even possible.
If it's more corn side dishes you're looking for… Mexican corn on the cob, grilled corn on the cob, and Instant Pot corn are always a hit at the family dinner table.
Let's talk about how to make this scrumptious corn casserole with bacon.

Yes, it's the same ascorn pudding. You’re basically mixing a bunch of ingredients together to create acreamy side dish.
The casserole isn’t fully stable either, like a slice ofcorn breadwould be. It requires you to spoon it onto your plate, versus eating with your hands.

- Bacon
- Green onions
- Cream cheese
- Heavy whipping cream
- Salted butter
- Sugar
- Sour cream
- Frozen corn
- Jiffy corn muffin mix
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Cheddar cheese
- Colby Jack cheese
Keep in mind, all of the amounts you'll need are in theprintable recipe card below.
Cutting BoardandKnife– for mincing the green onions and crumbling the bacon.
Saucepan– You’ll need a medium-sized saucepan to cook up the cream cheese mixture.
Heat Resistant Spatula– Works well for stirring and scraping the sides of the pan.
HOW TO MAKE CORN CASSEROLE
You can make corn casserole ahead of time and warm it up for your holiday dinner.
Before you get started mixing it up, be sure to cook the bacon and set it aside. You'll need 5 to 6 slices, so you can even cook a little extra at breakfast and stick it in the fridge 'til you need it.
Also, you'll need to mince the green onions and have those ready to go.
Here are the steps for making it…
- In a medium saucepan, add the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, salted butter, sugar, and sour cream. Cook the mixture on low heat until the cream cheese is fully melted. Use a heat resistant spatula to constantly stir and keep the mixture from scorching.
- Then in a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese mixture, crumbled bacon, minced green onions, frozen corn, JIFFY Corn Muffin Mix (1/2 the box), salt, and pepper.
- Pour the casserole mixture into the greased baking dish, making sure it's evenly spread throughout the dish, and bake according to the instructions in the recipe card below.
- Finally, add shredded cheese to the top of the casserole, and bake an additional 10 minutes.
Serve the deliciously cheesy corn casserole while warm and enjoy! It's so good!
IS CORN CASSEROLE GLUTEN-FREE?
It's not gluten-free if made with ordinary Jiffy mix. BUT… That doesn't mean you can't make it gluten-free.
In fact, I found a great recipe for Gluten Free Jiffy-Style Corn Muffin Mix over at Gluten Free on a Shoestring. I can't wait to try substituting this cornbread mix for the Jiffy mix in my own casserole this Thanksgiving.
CAN YOU FREEZE CORN CASSEROLE?
Absolutely, yes, you can! The ingredients used in corn casserole are all pretty conducive to freezing.
Just be sure to store it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. A baking dish with a lid works really well for this.
