Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients & Dairy
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream style corn
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn Drained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter Melted
  • 4 ounces cream cheese Softened
  • 2 large eggs Lightly beaten
Dry Ingredients & Flavorings
  • 1 package (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix Jiffy or equivalent
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper Seeded and finely minced
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese Shredded, divided
  • 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese Shredded (optional, mixed with cheddar)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cream style corn, drained whole kernel corn, sour cream, and softened cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is mostly incorporated.
  3. Whisk in the melted butter and the lightly beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the corn muffin mix, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the minced jalapeno.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar and all of the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra spice, leave some seeds in the jalapeno. If you prefer a less cheesy topping, omit the Monterey Jack cheese. Baking time may vary. Do not substitute liquid milk for sour cream.
