I love corn casserole (also known as corn pudding). It’s basically where cornbread meets creamed corn and creates this absolutely delicious side dish. Today I’m going to show you how to make air fryer corn casserole so you don’t even need to fire up the oven!
This method produces a golden crust while giving you that creamy, velvety inside. It’s also easy to portion it out using this method (because let’s face it I always make way too much of any casserole).
In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup melted salted butter with 3 Tbsp white sugar and 2 large eggs
Whisk thoroughly, making sure the eggs are entirely distributed and everything is well mixed
Add ½ cup milk or cream and one box of Jiffy honey cornbread mix (8.5 ounce) and mix until blended
Next, fold in one can of cream style corn and one can of drained sweet corn kernels
Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (or 325°F depending on your air fryer) following manufacturer guidelines
Spray an oven-safe pan (or 2 smaller loaf pans) that fit in your air fryer basket with nonstick spray
Pour your corn casserole mix into the greased pan(s), not filling more than ¾ full
Cover the pan(s) with aluminum foil, making sure to secure it around the edges
Place your casserole filled pan(s) into the preheated air fryer basket or on the rack
Cook on the air fry setting for 40 minutes at 320°F or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
If you want a browned crust, you may remove the foil and pop it back in for 3-5 minutes to really darken the exterior.
However, it’s not really needed unless that’s your preference. It still comes out golden while wrapped in foil, just like these air fryer turkey sliders!
There is no stirring or flipping required when making a corn casserole in the air fryer.
What Does Corn Casserole Go With?
Barbecue (such as ribs or brisket)
Pulled pork
Roasted chicken
Grilled meats
Turkey (Thanksgiving included)
Meatloaf
Ham
Chili
Hot dogs or sausages
Basically, anything that you would normally serve corn or cornbread with is a great food item to pair corn casserole with.

I love that it’s an easy way to get a delicious side dish on the table with little fuss. You can even make your corn casserole ahead of time and freeze it! Thaw it overnight and reheat it in the air fryer for about 10 minutes and it’s ready to go.

Notes
Any type of milk (or non dairy milk) works, as well as half and half, heavy cream, or evaporated milk
You can use regular Jiffy instead of honey flavor if you want a more savory option
Feel free to add in other things if desired, such as jalapenos, bacon, southwest seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, or your favorites
If you want an extra browned crust, place it back in the air fryer after removing the foil and cook an additional 3-5 minutes
I’m using two small loaf pans to fit in my Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer and it took about 40 minutes to be cooked perfectly, but different brands and sizes of air fryer may vary slightly
Any oven-safe pan, casserole dish, baking insert, or foil dish that fits in your air fryer basket or tray should work fine (but you may need to adjust cooking time slightly based on overall size)
Exact nutritional values will vary depending on specific ingredients used and total amount consumed, so please consider this as only a guideline or estimate
