Equipment

  • Professional Box Grater, Stainless Steel with 4 Sides
  • 9 x 13 Baking Dish Ceramic Casserole Dish, White

Ingredients

  • 1 box Jiffy Cornbread Mix (8.5 oz)
  • 2 cups frozen corn thawed
  • 8 ounces chopped green chilies
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Southwest or Taco seasoning
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat an 8×11 casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread muffin mix, corn, chopped green chiles, cream, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, seasoning and cheese.
  • Stir until just mixed and no more dry spots remain. Do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake for 55 minutes, or until the top turns a light golden brown.
  • Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Prepare the casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray for easy clean up.
  • Remove any clumps from the cornmeal before combining with other ingredients.
  • Add some extra ground cumin, crumbled cooked bacon, taco meat, or fresh veggies like red bell pepper.
  • Hatch chiles are great in season. Or use fresh jalapeno peppers, or a roasted poblano pepper.
  • Change up the cheese to Pepper Jack cheese, Monterey jack cheese, or a Mexican blend cheese.
  • Let the casserole cool for 5 or so minutes before cutting into it.
