If you are looking for the traditional corn casserole recipe with Jiffy, this isn’t it. However, this is an uber cheesy, ultra delicious corn casserole side dish with loads of corn kernels, oodles of cheese, and corn meal. Consistency wise, this recipe brings together regular corn meal (making it stand quite like corn bread over an ooey gooey casserole dish), but boxed Jiffy still works as a sweeter substitution.
If you are looking for an alteration of the same old corn casserole recipe (not hating, its my favorite in holiday times) this unique take on a delicious hometown Southern dish might just fit the bill.
