Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 to 1½ cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 (8.5 oz) box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp chopped green chilies (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and help form a golden crust during baking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly to form a silky base.
  3. Add Corn and Cheese: Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheese, and green chilies if using, distributing them evenly for texture and flavor bursts.
  4. Stir in Cornbread Mix: Sprinkle the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Fold carefully to combine without overmixing, keeping the texture light and fluffy.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving to help it set and hold its creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese and eggs at room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain a light, fluffy casserole texture.
  • Fresh corn in season adds enhanced sweetness and crunch.
  • Check doneness starting at 40 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Let resting time help the casserole firm up for clean slices.
