Featuring a delightful combination of canned corn, cream-style corn, and cornbread mix, this easy-to-make recipe boasts a rich, buttery texture elevated by the addition of sour cream and melted cheddar.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned corn, cream-style corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until well blended.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced green chilies (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Fiesta Corn Bake!
