Pioneer Woman Corn Casserole recipe that’s warm, buttery, like… stupid easy. You mix it, bake it, done. Great when you forgot you were supposed to bring a “side.” Cheap. Feeds a lot. Tastes like carbs and love.
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 can whole kernel corn (15 oz): drain it. Otherwise it’s soup.
- 1 can creamed corn (14.75 oz): do not drain this one. It’s weird but it works.
- 1 box cornbread mix (8.5 oz): Jiffy or whatever’s on sale.
- 1 cup sour cream: adds tang, makes it soft.
- ½ cup butter, melted: yes, the whole stick.
- 2 eggs, beaten: helps it hold shape. Still soft tho.
How To Make Pioneer Woman Corn Casserole:
Preheat and prep:
Oven goes to 350°F. Grease up a 9×9 dish—spray, butter, doesn’t matter. Just don’t skip this or you’ll regret it later.
Mix everything:
Dump all the ingredients in a big bowl. Corn, creamed corn, mix, sour cream, melted butter, eggs. Stir it till it’s one weird yellowish mess.
Pour it in:
Spoon the mix into the greased dish. It’s thick, kinda gloopy. That’s normal. Smooth the top a bit.
Bake it:
Into the oven it goes. Set a timer for 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top looks golden and a toothpick doesn’t come out covered in goo.
Let it sit a sec:
Not gonna lie—it’s better if it cools like 10 minutes before you cut it. Holds together better.

Recipe Tips:
- Don’t skip the butter. Seriously. It’ll taste sad.
- Add cheese if you want, but you don’t have to.
- Gluten-free cornbread mix works too—just double check.
- Want it sweeter? Toss in a spoon of sugar. I won’t tell.
How to Store & Reheat:
Room Temperature: 2 hours max.
Fridge: Store in airtight container, up to 4 days.
Freezer: Wrap slices or whole dish tightly. Reheat covered at 300°F.

FAQs:
Can I make it without eggs?
Yeah—use a flax egg or egg replacer. It’ll be a little softer.
Is this gluten-free?
Only if you use a gluten-free cornbread mix.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes. Bake it, let it cool, store it. Reheats great.
Can I add cheese?
Yep. Shredded cheddar stirred in or sprinkled on top. Go for it.
Why is mine still jiggly?
It’s underbaked. Give it 5-10 more mins. Cover if it’s browning too fast.
