Equipment
- Whisk
- Blender
- Oven
- Wooden Spoon
- Cutting Board
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- ½ cup Unsalted butter melted
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 14.75-ounce can Cream-style corn
- 1 cup Corn kernels fresh or frozen (thawed)
- 1 4-ounce can Diced green chiles drained
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 8.5-ounce box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. This initial step is crucial as it helps the casserole get that lovely golden brown top as it bakes. Make sure your oven is fully heated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.
- Grease a 1 ½ quart baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray. This step will prevent the casserole from sticking and makes for easier serving later on. A well-greased dish is key to a flawless bake!
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and sour cream. Whisk them together until well blended; you want a smooth mixture. This creates the creamy base that will hold everything together.
- Next, stir in the cream-style corn, corn kernels, green chiles, and cheese. Mix everything to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed. The mixture should be vibrant and colorful, showcasing all the fresh ingredients.
- Add the salt and corn muffin mix to the bowl. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture. You want it to be thick yet pourable for the next step.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top, creating an even surface. This will help ensure even cooking and a gorgeous presentation.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 55 minutes. Keep an eye on it as it nears the end of the baking time. You’re looking for the top to be golden brown and the center to be set; it should not jiggle when you shake the dish gently.
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This is important as it allows the flavors to settle and makes serving easier. The aroma will be irresistible!
- Slice into squares and serve warm. This dish is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but it also reheats well! Enjoy the creamy goodness of the Green Chile Corn Casserole with family and friends.
