    Crock Pot corn casserole is a traditional holiday side dish made from Jiffy cornbread muffin mix, canned corn, and ooey gooey cheddar cheese. This delicious recipe is perfect for feeding a hungry crowd.

    For our Thanksgiving menu, dinner just wouldn't be the same without my mom's Italian sausage stuffing but I know cornbread stuffing is also super popular.

    Instead, I prefer to serve my mom's recipe and then incorporate cornbread flavor with this easy Crock Pot corn casserole made from Jiffy cornbread muffin mix.

    At Christmas time when we're serving a Crockpot spiral ham, this is another great dump and go side dish I can have cooking while we're at Christmas Eve church. We come home and dinner is ready to eat!

    You'll find plenty of reasons to serve this easy recipe for any big family dinner for a holiday or Sunday dinner all year long.

    Why This is the Best Recipe

    When you're preparing to feed a crowd for a holiday dinner, you need all the easy side dishes for filling out the menu you that you can get!

    I think this is the best Crockpot corn casserole recipe because:

    1. Easy Prep: Just dump and go. Add all the ingredients to the slowcooker and stir. That's it!
    2. Cozy and Comforting: This classic holiday side dish is a family favorite for great reason. The sweet cornbread mix with crunchy corn kernels and melty cheese is comfort food at its best.
    3. Saves Room in the Oven: When you're juggling all the final dishes for your holiday meal, it is so nice to have one less thing that needs to fit in the oven!
    4. Keeps Warm on the Buffet Table: Unlike oven baked side dishes, this recipe will stay warm for a few hours during your holiday meal when you serve it right in the slowcooker.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients to make Jiffy cornbread casserole are lined up on the counter next to the Crock Pot.

    This cozy Crockpot side dish only needs a few easy ingredients:

    • Canned Corn: I used both cream style corn and whole corn kernels for the perfect texture.
    • Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
    • Eggs
    • Sour Cream
    • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar is the classic choice, but this is a fun spot to play with some variations. Be sure to see my notes below for ideas.
    • Butter
    • Sugar

    Add the Corn and Wet Ingredients

    First, add all the canned corn with their juices to the slowcooker.

    Add the sour cream, eggs, and shredded cheese. Stir everything together.

    Add the melted butter and stir again. By doing this in two steps, it helps prevent the hot butter cooking the raw eggs.

    The corn, sour cream, eggs, shredded cheese, and sugar are in the bowl of the Crock Pot.

    Mix the Jiffy Cornbread in the Crock Pot

    Add the Jiffy cornbread muffin mix and the sugar to the slowcooker and stir it in until no more dry pockets of mix remain.

    The dry cornbread mix has been added to the slowcooker.

    Cooking Instructions

    Cover the Crock Pot and cook on HIGH for 2 - 3 hours or until the center of the casserole has set completely.

    The finished corn casserole is in the Crock Pot and has chopped green onions over the top.

    Variations

    If you want to make your corn casserole more unique, there are a few delicious ingredient additions and variations you could play with:

    • Swap the Cheddar: You could use pepperjack cheese for a bit of kick, Monterey Jack cheese, or Colby Jack cheese in place of the cheddar.
    • Fresh Jalapeño: Mince a fresh jalapeño pepper and add it to the mix before cooking.
    • Cayenne Pepper: Add a dash or two of cayenne pepper, it won't make the casserole spicy but will definitely enhance the flavor. 
    • Brown Sugar: Use brown sugar in place of the white sugar.
    • Peppered Bacon: Stir in some cooked and crumbled peppered bacon to the mix or reserve it for a garnish on top.
    • Hot Honey: For a sweet and spicy spin, use Mike's Hot Honey in place of the white sugar. This would also be a great condiment to offer for drizzling over the top of individual servings.
    • Green Onions: This is my favorite garnish, but you could also chop them up and stir them into the mix if you want to add some onion flavor to the casserole.

    Make Ahead Tips

    Corn casserole is best enjoyed served fresh as soon as it is finished cooking. Since the recipe is so easy, it should only take a few minutes to prep earlier in the day.

    Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave but the texture is definitely better the first day.

    Serving Suggestions

    Crock Pot corn casserole is a classic Thanksgiving side for many families and there's no wondering why! With its easy prep and large batch serving, it is perfect for adding to your buffet table.

    Bonus: The slowcooker keeps it warm all through the dinner!

    To make the dish extra special for the holiday, you could bake the classic version and then offer little bowls of garnish toppings for your family to mix and match for their own serving. See the variations notes above for some ideas.

    Main Dishes to Serve

    Cornbread casserole pairs really well when your main dish is a large roast like my easy Crockpot spiral ham with brown sugar glaze. This is an excellent choice for a Christmas dinner.

    Or you could pair it with my mustard glazed ham with pineapple rings at Easter time.

    For Thanksgiving, my slowcooker boneless turkey is another easy main dish that keeps your oven open for other sides.

    And in the summertime, you could serve corn casserole with a barbecue pulled pork for a southern themed party.
