Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups corn kernels
  2. 1 can cream-style corn
  3. 1 cup sour cream
  4. 1/2 cup butter, melted
  5. 1 package corn muffin mix
  6. 1-2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
  7. 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine corn kernels and cream-style corn. Mix well to create a uniform corn base.
  3. Add melted butter to the corn mixture, stirring until completely incorporated.
  4. Pour in sour cream and chipotle sauce, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Add the corn muffin mix to the bowl, stirring gently until all dry ingredients are moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the casserole tough.
  6. Transfer the corn mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly across the top of the casserole, ensuring complete coverage.
  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the dish to set and makes it easier to portion.
  10. Serve warm as a side dish, garnishing with additional chipotle sauce or fresh chopped cilantro if desired.

Tips

  1. Use fresh corn kernels when possible for the best texture and flavor, but frozen or canned work great too.
  2. Don't overmix the batter - gentle stirring ensures a tender, fluffy casserole.
  3. For extra heat, increase the chipotle sauce or add diced jalapeños.
  4. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
  5. For a crispy top, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  6. Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for varied flavor profiles.
  7. Serve as a side dish or add protein like shredded chicken to make it a complete meal.
