US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9x9" or 9x13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Note: I use a deep dish 9" baking pan. It will expand, so if you don't have a deep dish, use a traditional 9x13" baking pan.
  • In a bowl, stir all of the ingredients together and pour into a greased deep dish 9x9" or 9x13" baking pan. 1 pound taco seasoned ground beef, 8 ounces Jiffy Cornbread Muffin mix, 15 ounces whole kernel corn, 15 ounces creamed corn, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup diced green chilies
  • This casserole will take about 60-70 minutes to bake if using a square 9x9 baking dish or 45-50 minutes in a 9x13 baking pan. Bake until lightly browned and set in the center. (The exact time will depend on the pan you use so watch it closely. The center should not be jiggly. If it is a deep casserole it will take longer to bake.)
  • Serve immediately with fresh salsa and a dollop of sour cream. pico de gallo, sour cream

Notes

  • The time needed to cook this casserole may vary slightly depending on the pan you use. Most times it takes us a full hour to cook it. Plan for up to 70 minutes of baking, but check it several times.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
  • You can freeze any leftovers in individual storage containers for an easy lunch or dinner. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the microwave.
