What Makes This Dish Special?

This recipe takes the ease of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and transforms it into a loaded, cheesy casserole. What you get is a dish that’s fluffy yet hearty, with gooey melted cheese, pops of sweet corn, and a hint of spice (likely from diced jalapeños or green chiles). It's the perfect side dish that eats like a main course.


Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained

  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn

  • 1 to 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

  • ½ cup sour cream (optional but adds moisture)

  • 1 finely chopped green bell pepper or a few chopped jalapeños for heat

  • Salt and pepper to taste


How to Make It:

How to Make It:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a square baking dish (like the one in the photo) with butter or cooking spray.

2. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, eggs, and milk until smooth. Stir in the drained corn, cream-style corn, sour cream, chopped peppers or jalapeños, and half of the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Pour and Top:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

4. Bake Until Golden:
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes or until the top is beautifully golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Serve:
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set and makes it easier to slice.


Tips and Variations

  • Add protein: Mix in cooked, crumbled sausage, bacon, or diced ham for a heartier dish.

  • Make it spicier: Add extra jalapeños, a dash of cayenne pepper, or pepper jack cheese.

  • Double the cheese: For ultimate indulgence, mix in multiple cheese types like sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or smoked gouda.
