This Instant Pot corn casserole recipe is a must during the holidays. Cheesy creamed corn side dish made in your pressure cooker or Ninja Foodi for Easter or Thanksgiving. Just like our Jiffy cream corn casserole recipe but steamed instead. The best vegetable side dish for your brunch buffet.
I’ve made this in the oven year after year but since I got this “fancy” pressure cooker I have been experimenting with my favorite dinners and side dishes. Here’s my Instant Pot corn casserole recipe that frees up your oven. One of our favorite side dish Instant Pot recipes. (affiliate links present)
Every Thanksgiving and Christmas my favorite side dish is my cream corn casserole recipe but that one is baked using Jiffy corn muffin mix. If I know my oven is going to be full it is better to bake in after making our pressure cooker turkey.
Ninja Foodi Corn Casserole
You can make it into a pretty bundt shaped cake like this or empty it immediately into a bowl and scoop some out. Either way this corn casserole pudding side dish is amazing! You can make it in as a Ninja Foodi recipe too.
If you are new to pressure cooking we have a lot of easy one pot meal recipes for you here. To begin with let’s start with a few basic tips:
- Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
- Then PRINT this —–> Instant Pot cooking times cheat sheet that will help you understand how long meat, vegetables and beans take to cook in your pressure cooker.
- I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot.
- You should know how to deglaze a pressure cooker after sautéing but it won’t have as many issues with this better liner.
For reference, this is the model I have (a 6 quart) and use for all recipe creations.
Instant Pot Corn Casserole
I am working on more holiday side dish recipes to make in my Instant Pot too so stay tuned, this year everything will be so much easier!! Have you made this corn side dish? It is creamy and a bit sweet but cheesy too and just so yummy!
- If it isn’t something you’ve had before you should make it in the oven or in your Instant Pot this year and try something new!
- I add a can of chiles too to amp up the flavor (but not make it spicy). Add more cheese if you want too!
It’s so much more interesting than just offering long grain white rice as a side dish, and so much prettier made in a bundt pan too right??
Can you make corn casserole in a pressure cooker?
Yes!! We will show you how to do just that. Essentially it will be steamed to tender and fluffy without turning on your oven at all this time. A great option when you have a lot going on and not much space. Best pan is a tube pan so the middle doesn’t get undercooked and too soft.
Both recipes are a bit different as the pressure cooker version needs more “liquidy” type ingredients to turn out right but they are both delicious. The oven version turns out looser and is golden brown on the top a bit. This Instant Pot version is more dense but not as dry as air fryer cornbread.
I have made slow cooker corn casserole but I think the other 2 methods turn out best. The pressure cook function cooks it more evenly, and using this bundt pan helps make each piece the same consistency too.
You will want a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot or pressure cooker for this one and a trivet to sit below the pan to keep it out of the water. A bit of foil
Ingredients
- 1 box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, other cornbread mix could be used but I have only used this one
- 1 can of chiles (optional, I use mild, you can use hotter -but tasty)
- Canned cream corn we use
- Sour cream or plain Greek Yogurt
- Eggs added at room temperature
- Butter or dairy free plant based alternative
- Canned corn drained we use
- Cheddar cheese shredded
Equipment Needed
6 c. bundt pan without handles so it will fit in your 6 or 8 quart if you have a larger pot, either works. A mixing bowl is needed to fold all items together. I would spray the pan with non stick spray so it slides out when done too.
How to Make Instant Pot Corn Pudding
This takes 45 minutes on high pressure, and done! Allowing a natural release at the end allows contents to solidify inside the pan. Taking the foil off immediately and allowing it to cool before flipping the pan over is important too if you want the bundt to stay in tact.
Can you make Jiffy corn casserole in a bundt pan?
Yep, in this case you can and it is highly recommended too. I haven’t done that for my baked version though I know it could be done and would be quite beautiful that way when served. To release and slide out easily, spray the inside with non stick spray and allow it to cool for a good 15 minutes when done.
It’s a vegetarian option for those who need one, and just plain tasty. For that matter you should make our buttery Instant Pot brussel sprouts too. A dairy free plant based butter substitute can be used for either too.
Our holidays just aren’t the same without this or our Pressure cooker mashed potatoes. Whether you have room in the oven (only difference is you’ll get a bit of crispier texture on top in the oven) or make it in your pressure cooker I am sure it will be a hit on your Thanksgiving or Christmas table too!

Ninja Foodi Corn Casserole
Time needed: 45 minutes
Instant Pot Corn Casserole
- Prepare
Drain your can of kernel corn. Add into a bowl. Add 1 cup of canned creamed corn into the bowl too, do not drain that. Shred your cheese, dice your onion, melt your butter, whip your eggs, and add everything into a large bowl. Mix well…it will be lumpy.
- Add
Spray inside of your bundt pan with some non stick spray so it will slide out when done. Pour corn casserole mixture into pan. I use all but about 1 cup of mixture as to not fill it to the very top, 3/4 full is perfect. It needs a little room between top of mix and tinfoil. Cover with tinfoil.
- Pressure Cook
Pour 2 cups of water into your Instant Pot. Put your trivet down inside. Lower your filled bundt pan on to your trivet (helpful if you make a sling to lower it in and take it out…watch video). Put lid on, close steam valve, and set to high pressure for 45 minutes cooking time. Allow to naturally release steam when done.
- Cool
Remove foil and set on cooling rack until completely cool if you want to attempt to keep bundt in shape. Then set plate on top and quickly turn it over to slide out. If you want it quite warm when served just flip over into a bowl, mix just a bit and top with chives or green onion for garnish if you wish.

Can this be made ahead? Can i freeze it?
I have never frozen it, I think it would change the texture once it was defrosted and reheated.
I can’t find the link to the oven recipe either. Could you provide the link or a picture of its location? I don’t have an insta pot .

I stay away from any blog that has mom or mommy attached to it like it is a strange cult that women who can’t have children don’t belong in. I consider it mean and have seen the pain this puts my daughter through after having had to have a hysterectomy at 26 due to stage 4 endometriosis. She is an amazing cook and pastry chef. Just as good as any mommy out there. Women shouldn’t have to identify as a mother or not. Especially in 2020. like my stepmother once said “The world needs more good aunts and less bad mothers.” But, I do love your recipes. Even though I don’t have children in my house anymore, I do work as a front liner, take care of my mother, and these recipes are quick and easy to do. Thank you
