After my original Corn Casserole recipe went viral (thank you!!), I was blown away by all the creative suggestions from you guys-everything from bacon to jalapeños. But one idea kept popping up that I had to try: green chilis. And let me tell you, they take this Cheesy Corn Casserole to a whole new level! The result? A creamy, comforting dish with just the right amount of kick.
Scroll down for the full recipe-aka the ultimate crowd-pleasing version that I'll be making on repeat for Easter and Thanksgiving meals!!

Making Your Own Jiffy Mix:
Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix isn't found in all countries. But don't fret! You can still make your own with simple ingredients, a sifter and a whisk. This recipe at Savory Experiments will walk you through directions for making an 8 oz Copy Cat of Jiffy.
You'll need : ⅔ Cup of Flour, ½ Cup Yellow Cornmeal, 3 tablespoon Sugar, 1 tablespoon Baking Powder and ¼ teaspoon Salt.
Simply sift all of that together and voilà! Jiffy Mix!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Strain whole kernel corn and melt butter.
- Step 2: Combine in a large bowl the jiffy mix, eggs, sour cream, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, butter, cheese and green chilis.
Hint: Drying off your whole kernel corn will make for an easier bake. We lightly pat our corn kernels with a paper towel.
- Step 3: Spray a 9x9 baking dish with a nonstick spray (or coat with oil). Place the corn casserole mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly.
- Step 4: Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Check at 45 minutes to make sure it's rising. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Hint: If casserole is jiggly, you'll know it needs to be cooked longer.
Substitutions and additions
- Jiffy Mix - See above for options on making your own or click here.
- Make it Classic - This recipe works the same whether you choose to leave out the cheese and chilis or not. See the classic Corn Casserole recipe for simpler steps.
- Jalapeños - If you'd like more spice, adding in jalapeños goes perfect with this! We've also added in a can of Hot Rotel with Habaneros and that was a hit!
Equipment
- 9x9 Baking Dish - Affordable and durable!
- Strainer - I prefer to own one big one rather than a bunch of different sizes to keep up with in the kitchen. It does the job and it's easy to clean 😉
- Oven
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Can also be premade and frozen to cook at a later date. Freeze unbaked for up to a month, then thaw and bake for 1 hour.
