Print Recipe

A lightened-up version of a classic corn casserole, featuring Jiffy mix, Greek yogurt, and sharp cheddar for a creamy, cheesy side dish that’s perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray your 8×8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, Greek yogurt, egg, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  3. Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining 1/4 cup for the top.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with the spatula. Give the dish a gentle tap on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top. If you’re adding green onions or chives, sprinkle them on now too.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. The center should be slightly jiggly—it will continue to set as it cools.
  7. Let the casserole cool in the dish for 5–10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or a pat of butter if desired.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter. Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt. Shred your own cheese for best melting. Let the casserole rest before serving. Watch your oven temperature. Double the recipe for leftovers.
