Steps to Make Deliciously Sweet and Spicy Jiffy Corn Casserole with Cheese and Bacon Let it thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding to your batter. You’re better off getting frozen corn instead.

No, this would make the casserole too runny. THE STORE IS OUT OF REGULAR CORN, CAN I USE 2 CANS OF CREAMED CORN? Honey adds the perfect complementary sweetness to this spicy Jiffy corn casserole.

Honey, 1/4 cup(+) – for drizzling over the baked casserole and adding a little more onto served portions if you want.

If you like spicy, go for a half block (or more if you want.) I use about 1/3 of a block, maybe a tad more, and it’s a good medium heat level. If you want a milder spiciness only use about a quarter block.

Cabot Habanero Cheddar Cheese, 1/4 – 1/2 block shredded – this cheese has some good heat to it so a little will go a long way.

However, thick cut or center cut will do, though if you use center cut, you may want to add an extra slice or two to make up for the shorter slices.

Bacon, 10 slices chopped – just some regular bacon! Skip the applewood or cherrywood varieties as they have a slightly different flavor and could change the overall flavor of the corn casserole.

Butter, 6 tablespoons melted – most recipes call for the full stick of butter which is 8 tbsp, however, we’re going to use some of the bacon fat in place of a few tablespoons of butter for a little extra savory bacon flavor 😋.

Sour Cream, 1 cup – you can substitute an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt if you prefer.

Some homemade recipes will include milk or cream, but in store-bought cream corn there is no dairy used.

Creamed Corn, 1 can – creamed corn is simply whole corn kernels mixed with blended corn that often includes the “milky” residue scraped from the cob.

Majority of corn found in supermarkets is the “super-sweet” variety, and it comes in all three color choices. Corn comes in three varieties: normal-sugar, sugar-enhanced or super-sweet. The color makes no difference to the flavor, rather, the type of corn affects the sweetness. Some people believe that one or the other is sweeter but this is actually not the case.

Whole Kernel Corn, 1 can drained – you can use yellow, white, or bi-color corn.

Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, 1 box (8.5 oz) – you can make corn bread mix from scratch if you prefer, but Jiffy is the OG and quicker so it’s my go-to.

In this sweet heat version, we’re adding Cabot Habanero Cheddar Cheese, bacon and honey! Shredding the spicy cheese and cooking the bacon only adds a few more minutes to the original recipe but it seriously takes traditional Jiffy corn casserole to the next level! Ingredients
