Jiffy Spoon Bread Recipe

This semi-homemade recipe is a cross between cornbread and corn pudding or spoon bread, so it’s called Sweet Corn Spoon Bread. Everything but the cheese is dumped in one bowl and quickly mixed up. Cheese is sprinkled on top at the end of baking. This spoon bread casserole is so EASY to make!

I made this side dish bread for a friend and he said, “It’s not a meal without cheese.” I totally agree! The Swiss cheese brings the WOW element that will make you want to make the recipe again and again. I just use 6 ounces of cheese, but 8 to 12 ounces can easily be used for an even thicker layer of cheese.

Last year my mom gave me this basic Jiffy Corn Pudding recipe that takes a basic mix up a few notches. This recipe has so much more flavor because of the Swiss cheese. It’s also quicker than our very popular made from scratch Country Style Corn Casserole that mixes Swiss cheese in with a lot more corn.

With the cheese baked on the bread, this side dish just calls out to be eaten with meat at a holiday meal or for a regular meal including our Farmhouse Slow Cooker Pulled Pork or Oven Baked Pork Chops.

We all love Homemade Cornbread, but too often there’s just not enough time to make it so this bread is a great alternative.

Tips for the Sweet Corn Best Spoon Bread

Starting with a fresh block of Swiss cheese and shredding it yourself will maximize flavor
Always use butter because it has the richest flavor, don’t substitute for margarine
I found small cans of whole kernel corn and cream style corn that were within an ounce of the sizes listed in the recipe and they work just fine
Drain the whole kernel corn before using
Each small can of sweet corn can be substituted for 1/2 cup fresh sweet corn. I prefer to use the can of cream style corn for the extra creaminess though.
