Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned corn kernels
- 1 cup canned creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup green chilies (diced, canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 packet corn muffin mix (store-bought)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, and melted butter. Mix until well incorporated.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk them in. Add the corn muffin mix and stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Fold in the green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle the top with paprika for a bit of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
