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.
