Made with just 6 ingredients, this creamed corn casserole is simple to mix and bake. Traditionally, this casserole is topped with cheese, but in this post I’ll show you some recipe options to making this casserole customized with your tastes in mind.
What do I need to make this Paula Deen Corn Casserole recipe?
- Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix – this is found in the baking aisle, near the prepared cake and muffin mixes. (Pictured above.)
- Butter – feel free to use salted or unsalted butter. I normally buy salted sweet cream butter, and it tested perfectly in this recipe.
- Sour cream – sour cream adds a nice moisture and creaminess to the batter. It creates a perfectly fluffy texture once the casserole is baked.
- Whole Kernel Corn – the whole kernel corn adds a nice texture to the casserole, along with some sweetness.
- Creamed Corn – the sweetness of the creamed corn enhances the flavor of this corn casserole.
- Shredded cheddar cheese – the shredded cheese is added to the top of the casserole at the end. You could also use a Colby jack or other cheddar blend cheese of your choosing.

How do I make Paula Deen’s corn casserole?
Making this cornbread casserole is quite simple. Start by adding the dry cornbread mix, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, sour cream and melted butter to a mixing bowl. Make sure you drain the water from the whole kernel corn.
Stir the mixture together well with a rubber scraper.
Pour the casserole mixture into a prepared casserole dish that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick baking spray.
Spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish with a rubber scraper. Bake the casserole at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
What pan is best for making a cornbread casserole?
I recommend using an oval or rectangular baking or casserole dish. The size of these dished can vary slightly, but try to go with a 10″ – 12″ casserole dish, which will best accomodate the amount of ingredients.
Once the casserole has baked for 40 minutes, top with the shredded cheese and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Once it comes out of the oven, the cheese will be perfectly browned.
Other Topping and Mix-In Ideas:
- Diced Jalapenos – this casserole is fantastic with a bit of spiciness from Jalapenos. Serve alongside chili, like my Loaded Slow Cooker Chili, Healthy Turkey Chili or my Hearty Chipotle Steak Chili.
- Cornflakes and Butter – mix 1 1/2 – 2 cups of crushed cornflakes with 1/4 cup of melted butter. Sprinkle this over the top of the casserole (instead of the cheese) to attain a fantastic crispy topping.
- Crushed Ritz Crackers – mix together about 1 1/2 cups of crushed Ritz crackers with 1/4 cup of butter. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole and bake for another 10 minutes for a perfectly crispy crust.
