This Instant Pot corn casserole recipe is a must during the holidays. Cheesy creamed corn side dish made in a Ninja Foodi pressure cooker for Easter or Thanksgiving. Just like our Jiffy cream corn casserole recipe but steamed instead.
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. Yes of coures you can bake it but save room in your oven with this favorite side dish Instant Pot recipes.
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.
I am working on more holiday side dish recipes than this and our Instant Pot corn so stay tuned and bookmark this page for later.
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
Made with Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
You are going to want to start with a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, other cornbread mix could be used but I have only used this one. Makes it super easy to start with this but could use homemade.
I like to add a can of chiles (optional, I use mild, you can use hotter -but tasty). You can find these in mild or spicy.
Instead of kernels you are going to make this batter with canned cream corn that will make it creamy and super moist.
You are going to add some Sour cream or plain Greek Yogurt could be used as a substitute instead if you prefer, this will make it moist as well.
- Eggs added at room temperature
- Butter or dairy free plant based alternative
- Canned corn drained we use
- Cheddar cheese shredded
How to Bake in a Pressure Cooker
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 Long to Cook 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.
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.
Instant Pot Corn Casserole Recipe
Equipment
- 1 mini bundt pan 6 cup
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 can chopped chiles, (use any heat you like – mild doesn’t make it spicy, just gives flavor)
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 cup cream corn
- 1/2 stick butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp salt, optional
- 3/4 c sour cream, light is fine
- 1/2 c onion, diced, optional
Instructions
- Drain your can of kernel corn. Add to bowl. Add 1 cup of creamed corn as is in the can too.
- Shred your cheese, dice your onion, melt your butter, whip your eggs, and add everything to a large bowl. Mix well…it will be lumpy.
- Spray inside of your bundt pan with non stick spray. Pour corn casserole mixture into pan (I use all but about 1 cup of mixture as to not fill it to the very top, need a little room between top of mix and tinfoil. Cover with tinfoil.
- Pour 2 cups of water into your Instant Pot. Put your trivet inside.
- Lower your bundt pan filled with your corn casserole mixture into your Instant pot 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 manual, pressure, high, for 45 minutes.
- Allow to naturally release steam when done.
- Remove foil and set on cooling rack until completely cool if you want to attempt to keep bundt in shape.
- 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.
- Enjoy!

A huge crowd pleaser for toddlers and adults!!! I used just a regular casserole dish with the instant pot rack and it came out beautifully! I also used all of the can of creamed corn and it came out well.
Has anyone done individual portions? I have the Wee Sprout baby food mold and was wondering about timing for a smaller size. Thanks!
I poked a hole in the foil before placing in the pot. result seemed dry and not quite done??
If I’m not using a bundt pan, do I still need to add water? Do ingredients just go straight into the IP?
No
Is that 1/2 cup of butter?
1/2 stick of butter is 1/4 of a cup.
Hello,I would love try to this tomorrow, however, as I was reading some comments from the group, it seems like 45 mins is not enough, any chance you have an idea? I am using an 8 qt and the bundt pan 🙂
Thank you in advance!
The time listed has worked well for me every time though you need to make sure you allow it to remain in the pan when you take it off because it will continue to cook for a bit, just remove the foil. You do not want to overcook this as it is supposed to be very moist, a cross between corn pudding and cornbread.
Thank you so much for the information 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
Can I use my spring firm pan I got for the IP?
As long as it is the size listed for this recipe.
Is there major taste difference if I don’t add the Chile’s?
No you can omit if you want, if you get mild in the can it does not make it spicy at all though. Just lends flavor.
Hi! I recently picked up a 7in bunt pan for my instant pot (with this recipe in mind) but when I opened it it was so small! I think it might hold 2 cups worth. Any recommendations on adjusting the cook time on your recipe and I will make multiple batches :).
Thank you!
Not sure what you have but if you ordered 7″ then it should be right, it does look rather small.
Did you make this? I have the same problem. Did you cook for the full 45 minutes?
What size IP did you use, I have a 6 qt
