Awesome recipe... It is a big hit every time I make it. Very easy too!

Can I prepare this recipe the night before and bake the casserole the next morning and get the same great flavor?

Hi Jacque,

I would bake it at the last minute. Otherwise the corn bread may not rise as much as it would when you put it in the oven right after it is mixed because the leavener would be activated as soon as the wet ingredients are mixed.

Happy Holidays,

EVERYONE LOVES THIS RECIPE! Just the way it says. Has anyone made a little too much and tried to save the left over batter? Why is it so thin?

I made this recipe last night for a small party we had. Everyone loved! I will definitely make it again!

If I make 4 times the recipe, do I use 4 cups sour cream? Thanks

Hi Marion, yep. 4 times all ingredients. And one cup is equivalent to 1 (8 oz.) container, so 4 cups is good.

I have been making this for a couple of years now and it is so easy and sooo good. If you want it a little sweeter add 3/4 tablespoon of sugar. Have shared this recipe with many friends and neighbors because they have loved it when we get together and each bring a dish to the gathering.

I add 1 cup Cheddar cheese to the top and also add a small can of chopped green chili's..

Me too... and I double everything.... always a hit!!

Add a can of Rotel to kick it up a bit.

I make this casserole at every holiday gathering. But, I add 8 oz of grated cheddar cheese to the mixture before baking. It is just wonderful!

Everyone loves this recipe. I use cream cheese instead of sour cream.

Best version I have used is the following: above recipe, but 1 egg, 4 oz. cream cheese instead of sour cream, only 1/2 stick butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Everyone loves it! I like the idea of the green chilis and cheddar cheese, but if I tried those, I think I'd eliminate the sugar and add some chopped onion.

Not fan of sour cream - have always wondered about creamed cheese in a jiffy cornbread recipe, WOW! Thank you Jill for your method (creamed cheese is good on baked potatoes too).

Plain Greek yogurt is a great substitute!

You have to try this with cream cheese instead of sour cream. It is simply amazing!

Delicious! - But I like the idea of subbing cream cheese for sour cream as Ricky suggested. Do you use 8 oz. (by weight) just like the sour cream? Do you melt/soften the cream cheese first? Thanks for the suggestion!

I also made this for Thanksgiving and the family requested it again for Christmas. I subbed the sour cream with cream cheese... and drained most of the whole corn. mmmmmm yummy stuff.

This recipe is simply scrumptious but I add 2 tablespoons of corn syrup and substitute cream cheese for the sour cream. I also add a bit of honey, therefore there no need for sugar unless you want it to taste sweeter.

Lived in Chelsea, Mi where Jiffy Mix is made.... here's my favorite twist... cream cheese instead of sour cream... also add crumbled bacon... diced shallots or green onions... & we use diced yellow (pickled) pepper rings & I add some diced red pepper for color... always a hit!!!

Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Now family members ask me to make it before they come over. I use half the amount of sour cream and about a third of a block of cream cheese instead.

Thanks for the cream cheese idea, forgot to get the sour cream.. I think its even better if thats possible!

OMG!!! This is the BEST BUT I do NOT use the sour cream I use cream cheese!

Love this... I've been making it for a little over 5 years and I make it pretty much the same except everything is doubled and I use 2 packages of cream cheese instead of sour cream... tastes sooo much better.

Always love this, but have just read about cream cheese substitute, so will try. However, I have always added a few pieces of chopped jalapeno (the bottled slices) and a teaspoon or two of the pickling juice from the bottle... only if you like a little spiciness... definitely takes it up a huge notch!

OMG! This is the best recipe by far. So delicious and easy to make. Next time I'm going to try it with cream cheese.. but absolutely delicious!

I make this recipe often. It's a hit with everyone. I use 4oz sour cream and 4oz cream cheese.

I've had this recipe for years, and I am fat & cholesterol conscious, out of necessity. You can substitute fat-free yogurt, and it's just as good, and saves so much fat and calories!! It's always been a crowd-pleaser.

I only used the cream corn, used plain yogurt instead of sour cream, and baked in the microwave for about 20 minutes. Fast, easy, and good.

Greek yogurt can be swapped for the sour cream as well.

I made it healthier by using non fat greek yogurt in place of the sour cream and a stick of light butter. It was delicious and no one noticed the difference!

Great recipe! I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I also added a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles. No, the chiles did not heat up the casserole. They added a nice taste.

Been making this for decades! I substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream and use only 1/2 stick of butter. It is just as good, but far fewer calories. Can't imagine adding sugar. It's already slightly sweet. Though my sister once accidentally used vanilla yogurt instead of plain and it was like dessert!

You can also add swiss or cheddar cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

AWESOME... Loved it.. Yummy, yummy!

I added cheese and bacon bits - very yummy!

We modify this recipe by adding browned bacon, onion, shredded cheese in them mix and sometimes green chilis without the sour cream. Everyone just loves it. It is a special treat when I bake it in the smoker instead of the oven.

If you double the recipe, do you add to the cooking time?

I've been making this for years for holidays like Thanksgiving, and it's always a big hit! The kids really love it... but adults too. With that much butter, how can one go wrong! You can pre-make it a day or two ahead, and reheat it when needed (either oven or microwave, seeing how busy the oven is on a holiday cooking other foods!). It also reheats nicely with leftovers!

Love this - and my family does too. It's a Thanksgiving tradition in our home. I was wondering, has anyone ever tried to freeze this?

I make this same casserole only I use plain yogurt instead of sour cream and no eggs. It comes out real good. I just mix it all in one pan. It freezes well.

I love this recipe! I first found this on the side of a Jiffy box 30 plus years ago and it's been in my repertoire since. Mine never called for sour cream, but I have added canned chopped green chilies, or drained basic salsa, and a little shredded cheese on top and/or mixed in with the other ingredients. I like to make this as muffins more often than a single pan. They keep and freeze really well.

I have been making this casserole for years after a woman I took care of had me try it. It does freeze very well and if you let it thaw and then put in microwave. Us girls would use individual one serving ceramic dishes and would take one out of freezer as needed, it is so good!!

Yes and it's still delicious :)
