Jiffy Cheesy Corn Bake Tips
There are a few tips I’d like to share to make sure your Jiffy Corn Casserole comes out perfect every time
- First of all, don’t use anything smaller than an 8×8-inch baking dish or the casserole could overflow. A 9×9-inch dish also works just fine and you could also make this in a 10-inch pie dish.
- The corn mixture will rise up quite a bit from baking, but it will deflate after you pull it out of the oven. This is totally normal — you didn’t do anything wrong!
- Depending on the brand of canned corn you use, sizes may vary slightly, but anything between 14 and 16 ounces will work fine.
- Also, only use whole fat sour cream, not the low-fat stuff!
- Corn casserole is soft and it may look undercooked, but it’s not. The cream-style corn and cheese keep it slightly gooey, but that’s what makes it so good!
- If you double the recipe, make sure to bake it in a large casserole dish.
- Cheddar cheese can be used instead of Colby Jack.

SÃlvia Brown says
It’s one of my family’s favorite dish. Can I make the dish and refrigerator it? Then bake it the next day?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Yes, you can prepare the casserole and cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let the baking dish sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
Kelly says
If I double it how long should I bake it?
Rebecca Hubbell says
I would probably add an additional 20 minutes and see how that looks. Make sure you use a larger pan!
Jessica says
Curious. I haven’t made it yet but I’m assuming you drain the corn. Thanks!
Rebecca Hubbell says
Yes, you do.
Molly says
I’ve made this easy recipe for several different events and it’s gotten a good reception. 5 stars.
Rebecca Hubbell says
I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it, Molly!
Chris says
I’ve been making a version of this for years…tip you can bake it without the cheese, sprinkle cheese on top, cover ut and put it in casserole carrier and when ypu arrives at your family dinner or party it will be warm and ready to serve.
Cindy says
Can it be made ahead of time?
Rebecca Hubbell says
While it is best fresh, it can be made ahead of time. just reheat in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or in the microwave.
Laura Stewart says
I’m going to double this recipe. What size pan do u recommend?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Laura, it should be fin in a 9×13-inch pan. You will have to increase the bake time, so keep an eye on it.
Julie says
It tastes great! And do easy! Could this be cooked in a crockpot as is? Has anyone tried it? I’m wondering high/low, length of time, if anything would need to be altered in the recipe, and if it could be doubled? Thank you!
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Julie, You can double it AND cook it in the slow cooker. If you double it, it should take about 2.5 – 3.5 hours on high. If you do not double it, usually around 1.5 – 2 hours. Nothing else should need to be altered.
