Oh my goodness, you guys! I have the most scrumptious recipe to share with you today: Easy Jiffy Corn Pudding! This dish is a family favorite of mine, and honestly, it just brings back all the warm and fuzzy memories from my childhood. I remember my grandma whipping up a batch on chilly autumn evenings, the savory smell wafting through the house while we huddled up, ready to dig into something comforting.
What I love about this recipe is how simple yet delightful it is! With just a few ingredients, you can make a dish that feels both homey and special enough for any gathering. Serve it up at a potluck, holiday dinner, or just a cozy night in, and watch everyone rave about it. Let’s dive in!
What’s in Easy Jiffy Corn Pudding?
Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix: This is the star ingredient, giving our pudding that amazing cornbread flavor and texture. It’s pre-seasoned, so you get a delicious taste without needing a ton of different spices!
Whole Kernel Corn: I love the added texture and pop of flavor this brings to the dish. I usually go with canned since it’s super convenient, and it’s quick to drain!
Cream-Style Corn: This gives that creamy richness that takes the pudding to the next level. It acts almost like a sauce, binding everything together beautifully.
Sour Cream: The sour cream introduces a lovely tartness and moisture. It keeps the dish creamy and prevents it from drying out.
Milk: Just a little bit of milk helps achieve the perfect consistency. I typically use whole milk, but whatever you have on hand works just fine.
Melted Butter: Butter makes everything better, right? It helps create a deliciously rich flavor in our pudding.
Eggs: These are essential for binding everything together and giving the pudding that nice lift.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese (optional): Who doesn’t love a little cheese? Fold in some for a cheesy twist that takes it to the next level (and make it even more addictively delicious).
Salt and Pepper: Just a pinch of salt and pepper help to enhance all those lovely flavors!
Is Easy Jiffy Corn Pudding Good for You?
Now, I know what you might be thinking—corn pudding? Isn’t that just a little indulgent? While it is a comforting dish, it does come with its perks!
Corn: It’s full of fiber to keep you full and satisfied, and it’s also packed with vitamins like B and C. Yay, for veggies in disguise!
Sour Cream: This adds some calcium to the mix, which is always a plus. Just try to use the light version if you’re watching your calories.
But a word of caution: with the melted butter, cheese, and other rich ingredients, this isn’t an everyday dish—more like a delightful treat! Balance is key. Enjoy it with a fresh salad or some grilled veggies for a more well-rounded meal.
