Makeover Zippy Corn Casserole

I’ve had so many requests over the past few years to make this corn casserole that I decided to tackle the problem by popular demand. My cousin always makes corn casserole every year for Thanksgiving, so I knew where to find a good starting point. This is a simple corn casserole made with Jiffy corn muffin mix as a base and added canned corn and creamed corn. I added yogurt and egg whites to brighten the original and it was delicious.

Why This Lighter Corn Casserole Works

Thanksgiving is all about aspects and most of us are quite nostalgic. My cousin always brings corn casserole for Thanksgiving every year, and we all love it. So when we were asked to make it lighter, we were happy to take on the challenge. Here’s why this works:

• I used Greek yogurt and reduced the butter and egg whites to make it lighter.
• Semi-Homemade – This easy recipe starts with a box of Jiffy Corn Muffins and just 6 additional ingredients.
• Prepare ahead and reheat later!
• Great to bring to a potluck if someone else is hosting it.
