Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and corn muffin mix until well combined.
Add the sour cream and melted butter to the bowl, mixing until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Fold in the diced jalapenos for a spicy kick. Adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your desired heat level.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top begins to set and turn golden around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares or spoon directly onto plates. Enjoy!
