Corn casserole (also called corn pudding or corn soufflé) is a sweet, creamy, custard-like side dish made with corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, butter, and eggs. It's a staple at Thanksgiving, potlucks, and holiday dinners across the American South and Midwest.
The dish couldn't be simpler: dump everything in a bowl, stir, and bake. No special technique required. The Jiffy cornbread mix (or any corn muffin mix) provides structure while the creamed corn and sour cream keep it impossibly moist.
