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.

Can freshly shaved Parmesan Cheese be substituted?

There is no reason that fresh Parmesan cheese cannot be added into this recipe.

Can Jiffy Corn Mix be used over boxed Cornmeal?

I have not personally substituted Jiffy corn muffin mixed in this recipe yet but its on my radar to try in the near future. That doesn’t mean you cant try! After all, recipes are meant to be experimented with. If I was going to substitute, I would eliminate the cornmeal, baking soda and flour and substitute for 1 box of Jiffy. I make no guarantees it will “work” but in theory should be fine and provide a sweet taste.

What kind of Shredded Cheese goes best in Cheesy Casserole?

The best cheese to use in this recipe is shredded cheddar, Colby jack or Monterey jack. If you want to bring some spice into this dish, try pepper jack instead.
