How to Make Grandma’s Corn Pudding Casserole Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Spray 9×13″ baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs in one at a time, beating well after adding each one.
- Beat in sour cream.
- Add in muffin mix and milk, mix well.
- Fold in the corn.
- Pour mixture into prepared 9×13″ pan. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until set and lightly brown.


Recipe Notes
- This recipe is not supposed to be the texture of cornbread, but more of a bread pudding. The middle may not be all the way set up, but it will continue to “set” after it’s done cooking.
- If it’s too sweet for you, you can leave out the sugar.
- Cornbread Mix: I love when I can make my whole meal from scratch. Sometimes it doesn’t happen, some weeks are better than others, but that’s okay! But now with Brend Did’s Copycake Jiffy Cornbread Mix you can make this whole recipe from scratch! Plus, it’s always a good recipe to have on hand if you don’t have a box of Jiffy mix in the pantry.
- Tex-Mex Modification: If you want to make it a Tex-Mex recipe, it is super simple. All you have to do is add a 4 ounce can of diced green chilies or diced jalapeños and 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese to the batter. Then, just bake it like you would the original recipe and you have yourself another version of this super delicious corn pudding casserole recipe.

I’ve been making almost this same recipe for 45 years . Just substitute 1 cup grated cheddar cheese for the butter.
My Mom made this Corn Casserole for many years and NEVER USED ANY Eggs, sugar or milk …omit these from this recipe. And you’ve got a great Corn Pudding Casserole that graced many a church funeral dinner tables. Anytime passed away my Mom’s Corn Casserole was the first dish to cross the thresh hold at Our United Methodist Church Kitchen.
I loved this recipe so much! I made it for Thanksgiving and was asked to double the recipe for Christmas!
Can this be frozen to eat at a later time?
It should work ok. It’s best when not frozen. It’s pretty moist so it may not hold up as well after being frozen and then thawed again.
I have made this twice. For some reason, it was way too sweet the second time and I had already cut the sugar in half. Will definitely make again but with no sugar.
This recipe is amazing!! Everyone kept asking for more!!
