Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups shoepeg corn
- 2 4-ounce cans green chiles (diced, canned)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup crushed tortilla chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream, green chiles (with their liquid), and shoepeg corn. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
If desired, top with crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
