Ingredients in Baked Corn Casserole

This 5 ingredient corn casserole’s ingredient list is short and sweet! But don’t let that fool you. It is packed with delicious flavor! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

Corn Muffin Mix: This is the most important ingredient in your casserole. Don’t leave it out! Jiffy mix is my favorite! Whole Kernel Corn: Make sure to drain your can of whole kernel corn. Creamed Corn: You don’t want to drain this corn. Sour Cream: This adds a creaminess to the texture and binds everything together. Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe.

How to Make 5 Ingredient Corn Casserole

With a creamy texture on the inside and the perfect golden crust on the outside, this is the best quick casserole for any occasion!

Add some Heat: For a bit of spice, add a 4-ounce jar of chopped chilis and two teaspoons of cumin. Make it a Jalapeno Popper Corn Casserole: Add cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, and small dots of cream cheese for a jalapeño popper version. Bacon and BBQ: Combine chopped bacon and cheddar cheese and serve with a small topping of BBQ sauce for a BBQ version. Make it Tex-Mex: Turn this into a Tex-Mex dinner by topping it with taco meat, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream for a taco casserole version. Make it Street Corn: Top with cotija cheese, cayenne pepper, and additional sour cream for a Mexican street corn version. Add some Cheese: Stir in 1 cup of any of your favorite shredded cheese.

In the Refrigerator: This will last for one week in an airtight container in the fridge. You can reheat it in the microwave. Can I Freeze Leftovers? I don’t recommend freezing this 5 ingredient corn casserole. Make it Ahead of Time: This is so easy to make. I recommend putting it together just before cooking, but you can prepare it ahead of time. Combine all of the ingredients together in the casserole dish and store it in the fridge. Let the dish come to room temperature before baking it. If you need to, prepare the night before and before cooking, bring the dish to room temperature.
