I have made this recipe for many years. For variety we have made it with cubed ham chunks added in, shredded chicken, Italian sausage and shredded cheese is always a bonus. I seen a comment about adding cream of mushroom, that sounds good or maybe some cream of chicken. Thanks for putting the thought of what will most likely be supper tonight!!!

Great, great recipe. Substitute sour cream for 8 oz whipped cream cheese, and it's much richer, if you prefer it that way. Sour cream is good, too.

I've took this to many family gatherings and people just love it. I also add shredded cheddar before baking. It's a family favorite for years and very simple to make.

I use one can of cream of mushroom soup (condensed), a cup of mayo and one egg instead of sour cream and believe me it was a crowd pleasure!

Has anyone ever used cream of celery or cream of onion soup?

I love this dish, always a hit at parties.

LOVE LOVE THIS RECIPE!! Until I looked at ingredients of Jiffy. Includes BHT as a preservative, which is not used in other countries. A lot of US companies are phasing it out as an ingredient. :(

Childhood memory :)

I did not have any sour cream, so I put french onion chip dip in. WOW that added the flavor I needed too plus the sour cream at the same time.

I added a 1/4 cup of sugar to the mix. Then after you take out of the oven let it sit for 5 min. Then melt some maple butter (maple syrup mixed with a soft butter) on top. It is to die for. Almost makes it a dessert.

I've used a similar recipe for years also! My variations - add onions and I drain the whole kernel corn. Also, I just cut up a stick of butter into maybe a dozen pieceds and add to the mixture - instead of melting it ahead of time. Also, you HAVE to use Jiffy brand corn muffin mix as all of the other brands' corn muffin mix that I've seen is a smaller quantity (only like 6 oz. in the other brands and Jiffy has 8.5 oz. if I recall correctly). Occasionally, I will use sour cream with chives in it for a different twist. I like to bake it in a flatter type dish as it seems to bake all the way through and more evenly. I am loving the many other suggestions posted here! I will be sure to try them! And, the muffin variation sounds great too!

Excellent original recipe. I've been making this casserole for 30 years. and no matter who changes the recipe, mine is ALWAYS loved!! The secrets are to make it in a deep casserole dish, not square AND to be sure to add the water with the corn as that adds to the fluffiness.

I use this same recipe and add onion flakes to it. Just sprinkle in liberally.

My family loves this recipe and is surprised by how easy it is to make. I even made this with my grand daughter and she made a 'batch' and I made one, too. I made it over Thanksgiving and will be making it again for Christmas. It's very good.

I absolutely love this recipe! I could almost eat an entire pan myself!!! Its great as a side dish, or I even cut into squares and have for breakfast. Yummmmm.

We always have this at Thanksgiving. Love this recipe!
