Easy Cheesy Cornbread Casserole
EASY CHEESY CORNBREAD CASSEROLE – Super easy and truly tasty side dish for Thanksgiving, any holiday, or simply when you fancy a good cornbread casserole in a flash! Sure to please everyone’s tastebuds!
I have just made this Easy Cheesy Cornbread Casserole tonight with some chili. And, what a yummy dinner we had! Glad that fall is already in the air and it’s starting to be a little bit chilly now which means I can turn on the oven without fear and begin making tasty baked dishes. Yay for fall!
For making this yummy side dish, I actually use a gluten-free cornbread muffin mix from Trader Joe’s because hubby is on a gluten-free diet and I am so glad that it worked pretty well with it. It also tasted so yummy!
I have also tried this with the regular Trader Joe’s cornbread muffin mix and it worked equally well. The addition of sour cream made this casserole so moist, tender, and tasty.
I am so glad that I tried this recipe which I found in a church pot luck cookbook.
I believe the original recipe makes use of the jiffy corn muffin mix and you can certainly use that if you prefer.
I just use TJ’s mix because that has worked so well for us and we often make this gluten-free. Certainly, we love this with chili but it is such a versatile dish you can pair this with many other meaty dishes, too (roast chicken or turkey comes to mind).
But as far as my family is concerned, we love it even on its own and just eat it like a sweet dessert! It’s that good. Enjoy!

I love the addition of cheese to this cornbread recipe, as do the kids!
Made it a few minutes ago and it was delicious with chili best combo ever
Can I make this a day or two ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until time to bake?
For me, I would simply bake this ahead of time rather than refrigerating then baking hours later because the leavening agent in the corn muffin mix might be rendered ineffective. It might become a little watery too if it sits too long because of the sour cream content.
If i plan to use the whole package of TJ’s cornbread mix, 15oz, the only thing i would adjust is using a 15oz can of the whole kernal corn ? Or do i also use a 15oz can of cream of corn? What about the eggs, sour cream and the butter (do i need to adjust those too?) Thank you for your help!
Just follow the recipe as written. Use the adjusted measurement (in parenthesis) if you like and whatever is not in parenthesis – that means there’s no need to adjust them. In other words, they don’t need to be adjusted even if you increase the amount of canned corn or corn mix. You can opt to use the lesser measurement or the doubled one – I’ve done both and they both work well. Hope you enjoy.
can you stir the cheese in the mix and bake???
That’s fine if you prefer it that way. Enjoy!
