SCALLOPED CORN is a family favorite that we serve up at every holiday dinner. It’s kid-friendly and one of the easiest dishes to make…just toss everything in a bowl, stir, and bake!
Starting around the age of 5 my daughter took over making the scalloped corn for every holiday dinner. I think it was because she wanted to be sure that it didn’t get left off the menu. 😉
It’s a staple in our family…the sweet crunch of the corn paired with the soft cornbread goodness…it’s just a really special dish and we all love it!
And, did I mention that it’s easy enough for a 5 year old to make? Sure…she needed help opening the cans and putting the dish in the oven, but really you just dump everything together and stir it up. It’s the perfect recipe for little helpers!
This dish is quick to put together and you can bake it up in your oven while you’re cooking the rest of your dinner.

- Canned Corn

- Sour Cream
- Jiffy Mix

As you can see, this really is simple!
I know that canned cream corn has a bad rap…I get it. But, in this dish it’s really perfect! Don’t skip this one!
Helpful Tip!
Lately, I’ve been swapping out the salt + cayenne pepper for a teaspoon of Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning. We put Tony’s on literally everything (it is the best!)) and it works perfect in this dish.
Method:
- Stir everything together.
- Spread into a casserole dish.
- Bake!
I mean…does a holiday side dish even get simpler than that?
Make-Ahead:
This dish is perfect to make the day before! Just bake as directed, cool a bit on the counter, wrap tightly in foil, and refrigerate.
To rewarm, bake in a 300 degree oven for 15 minutes or so.

Ashley says
This definitely looks amazing! I can’t get enough corn in the summer. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen cornbread mix – will have to keep an eye out for it!
Katherine says
Wow, this looks like a great addition to my 4th of July menu! I do have a question: Can you describe the texture? Is it moist like a corn muffin? I hope it’s not dry…could you give me a description? thanks 🙂

Steph says
I am making this tonight. I saw you tweet about it last week and I put it on my menu this week. It is going in the oven now – looks fantastic!

I make a similar dish but it does have jalapenos diced fine, just a small amount. I also use some frozen corn as well that I have browned in a pan. It gives it a sweet roasted flavor. Definitely cheese!
Zfunk says
Add Swiss Cheese People…your thanksgiving will be amplified with goodness a hundred-fold.
Charliee says
Great recipie. I made it but I added the onion and bell pepper. I also added some grated cheese- about a cup mixed in and another half cup sprinkled on top for the last ten minutes of bakiing. Next time I am going to try adding some diced Jalapeno peppers. Course I know you northern folks dont go for the spicy like us Louisiana people do.
Michelle says
This looks delish!! I have never heard of scalloped corn. It looks like that little scoop of corn stuff that the restaurant Chevy’s serves with their meals. Love that stuff.
Kristen says

Oh Yum! I love scalloped corn but have never made it with cornbread mix, I usually use crushed saltines. I’ll have to try it this way.
