Recipe FAQ

What is corn casserole?

Corn casserole (also called corn pudding or spoon bread) is a Southern-inspired comfort dish made by combining corn with a batter or thickener to produce a soft, slightly sweet, and savory casserole.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes. Double all ingredients and bake in a larger pan such as a 9 x 13-inch baking dish to serve a crowd.

Can you use cornmeal instead of Jiffy or another cornbread mix?

Not directly. Packaged mixes include leaveners, flour, and sugar that affect texture. If you use cornmeal, add flour, baking powder, salt, and a bit of sugar to mimic a cornbread mix for the best results.

Leftovers & Storing

  • Make Ahead. Assemble and refrigerate before baking if needed; bring to room temperature for 30–45 minutes before baking for even cooking.
  • Store. Refrigerate leftovers up to four days or freeze for up to three months.
  • Reheat. Warm leftovers in a 350°F oven until heated through, or reheat single portions in the microwave.
