What is a Creamy Corn Casserole?

The original Jiffy Corn Casserole recipe, or also known as “Spoon Bread Casserole,” which first appeared in the 1960s as a recipe tear-off sheet in retail grocery stores. It was later published on the first-ever Jiffy recipe box in 1976. There are hundreds of versions of this recipe on the internet, but this is the real deal just made lighter using less butter, replacing the sour cream with non fat Greek yogurt, and using egg whites instead whole eggs.

What ingredients do I need to make this Lightened Up Creamy Corn Casserole?

• Cream-Style Corn – creamed corn is essential for making this corn casserole ultra moist and tender. 
• Sweet Corn – I absolutely love the texture that these sweet corn kernels add to this dish. 
• Corn muffin mix– I use Jiffy! It’s the star of the show and makes this dish extremely delicious!
• Non fat plain Greek yogurt– this is used in place of sour cream that is in the original casserole. It’s a great substitute for sour cream and provides at creamy fluffy texture to this casserole. If you’re not a Greek yogurt fan-true me when I say you won’t be able to notice it’s in the casserole-once it’s all baked with the other ingredients.
• Egg whites– you could use 1 whole egg, if you prefer.
• Light butter-melted. I use land o lakes light butter made with canola oil
• Reduced fat Cheddar cheese- this is optional. If you want a bit of cheesiness feel free to use it in your baked corn casserole. I like to use Velveeta cheddar shreds.

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

YES! This is an easy recipe to make up to 2 days ahead of time.

Combine all ingredients except for the cheese and place in casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate for up to 48 hours. Cook as directed.
