This cornbread casserole is a blend of corn muffin mix, canned corn, creamed corn, seasoning, eggs and butter, all baked together to make a hearty dish that's perfect for feeding a crowd. Cornbread casserole pairs perfectly with turkey, chicken or seafood and makes for a great holiday side.

Notes
I use canned corn for the convenience factor, but this dish also works well with fresh corn or frozen corn kernels.
This recipe is most commonly made with Jiffy corn muffin mix. If your store does not carry Jiffy, any box of cornbread or muffin mix that's the same weight will work just fine.
The casserole is ready when the top is lightly browned and the inside is just set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the casserole, it should come out with a few crumbs attached.
Use a knife and spatula to cut squares of the casserole, or scoop it out of the pan with a large serving spoon.
