Jiffy cornbread mix is a pantry staple year round for me, but this sweet-tart Thanksgiving Side Dish levels it up with a full 9×13 cornbread casserole. So if you have a can of canned cranberry sauce (whole is best but jellied will work too), give this version a try!
Want to free up the oven and make this in the crockpot ? Use the same batter with no changes. Heavily grease the slow cooker, pour it in, cover snugly, and cook on HIGH for about 2 1/2 hours, until the center is set. It keeps cooking as it sits, so pull it on time or it dries out. If you have a slow cooker larger than a 6-quart, reduce the time and start checking it at the 2-hour mark. The larger the crock, the faster this will cook.
If you want the tried and true classic without cranberry, you can find the newly updated oven version here and the slow cooker classic cornbread casserole version here.

Steps + Photos for This Jiffy Cornbread Casserole With Cranberries
Cornbread casserole with Jiffy mix always seems to disappear first on my Thanksgiving table. This version with cranberries is a robust side for Thanksgiving. If you have jellied cranberry sauce, mash it up with a fork before you add to the batter.
Step 1: Gather your tools and ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F and heavily grease or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the corn, creamed corn, 2 boxes of cornbread mix, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs.
Step 3: Fold the cranberry sauce into the mix. If using jellied, mash it with a fork in a separate bowl then fold it in. Plus, If you have some on hand, add a few fresh or frozen whole cranberries to the mix for an extra bite.
Step 4: Use a bowl scraper to transfer the mixture into the casserole dish and spread evenly.
Step 5: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until it’s done in the center. A knife or toothpick in the middle should come out mostly dry.
