Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can cream-style corn
  • 1 (8 oz) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped jalapeños or pickled jalapeños
  • Optional garnish: Fresh cilantro or green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, and salt.
  3. Stir in chopped jalapeños if you are using them.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center sets and the top looks lightly golden.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top. Return the dish to the oven for 5 to 7 more minutes, until the cheese melts.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • This casserole is a great Thanksgiving corn side dish that appeals to crowds.
  • You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese for some of the cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • For a richer taste, use cream cheese instead of sour cream, softened first.
