I have made this several times for parties and everyone loved it! Such a step up from regular corn pudding.

I just made this and served it with Crock-Pot ham bone soup (cooks overnight!) awesome! Great recipe Betty. We love! The diced tomatoes with chilies!? I put those in many things! I did add jalapeños (2 tablespoons diced) for heat. Thank you for posting... I'm thinking you didn't realize everyone was going to completely change it!? Post a recipe if you want too, my lord :)

Never used the rotel, but will try it.. Another version that I make,I use shredded Swiss cheese & the sour cream... yummy!

I haven't made this recipe yet. What are Rotel tomatoes? Is it a brand or type like diced or whole tomatoes?

Love this go to recipe for large gatherings such as get togethers, after a funeral, holidays etc... Being a southern girl and love Mexican food; the rotel gives it the extra kick! I also drain my 2 cans of whole kernel corn so it's not as mushy and put it in a large 2-inch baker so that it's not as thick... cooks great!

If you drain the juices, it makes it less mushy. I always get requested to make this. It is one of my family's favorites!

Thanks Jessica for recommendation to drain juices of canned vegetables. I've tried several cornbread casserole recipes that were just too sloppy & nobody could eat it.

Doesn't really say how long to bake it but I baked mine for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Thank for sharing the recipe!

I used 2 boxes of "Jiffy" mix and cream cheese and it was WONDERFUL; alone, with chili, and seasoned pinto beans!

I cook this a couple of times a year for our Church small group. I make wimpy and super hot. I added a little garlic to both of my versions. The wimpy version is just as the recipe with a tablespoon of minced garlic and Mild Rotel. The super hot I use Hot Rotel, the garlic and a tablespoon of Cayenne pepper. They always enjoy.

Did the crock pot turkey breast, 8 pounder on the bone. I did add 1 can chicken broth to bottom, 1/2 red onion inside the turkey and a couple of celery sticks to keep the bird off the bottom of the pot. Added 1 stick butter and Lawry's seasoned salt on the top. Absolutely phenomenal!!! Also make a double recipe of the Jiffy Corn Casserole. Doubled everything. It, too, was yummerronie!!

I made for a dish to pass at Thanksgiving one year and now its requested every year. Thanks Betty for my new specialty. Make exactly. Perfect every time.

I've made this for years minus the tomato. Instead of mixing the sour cream in I put that over the top, and then over that I put some browned onion and then the cheese and then bake it. So good!!!

Wanted a Christmas dish - not sure about the Rotel. I instead added a chopped red bell pepper a jalapeno, a second box of Jiffy mix and 8 oz of plain greek yogurt.
I also topped it with crushed Ritz crackers which I mixed with black pepper. IT was Outstanding even though In the rush I completely forgot the cheese, surprised I didn't even miss it as much of a cheese lover as I am. No one else seemed to notice either. I needed to make a double recipe because we always like to send plenty of leftovers home with our family members. Everyone asked for 2 pieces to go. If you warm it in the microwave wrapped in a paper napkin - it remains moist.

Typical cornbreads were a bit dry, so I tried this one; substituting a small can of diced green chilis, didn't want the color tomato would produce. Turned out perfect. Might add 1/2 teaspoon minced jalepenos next time, or use jack cheese with peppers. Goes well with any meat entree, or side dish with omelets and bacon.

I have been making this for years (larger quantity) without tomatoes or cheese. For a different flavor, try adding the following to the recipe: 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp nutmeg or to taste, pinch of ground red pepper, and half can of condensed milk. I find this recipe works best if you drain the whole kernel corn.
