Awesome and Easy Creamy Corn Casserole
This one is easy to make…just one bowl, no mixer and then straight to the oven. The texture is tender with little bursts of sweet corn and flavor from the green chiles. The sour cream and butter keep everything rich and moist. I adapted this recipe from All Recipes. The original recipe has over 3100 reviews. I took some of the ideas in the reviews to make this recipe my own. I hope you like it!

Notes/Tips
- Serve with chili, soups, BBQ chicken or pulled pork.
- I used my 8×8 inch metal baking dish*. I ordered this one because it doesn’t rust or warp like my other pans have in the past. I like it a lot so far!
- For the best results, don’t overmix the batter.
- For a crispier edge, bake in a metal pan (it really does make a difference).
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or warm in the oven for best texture. To freeze: wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw and reheat.
- You can double the recipe and bake in a 9×13 pan.
- Other recipes you can make with pepper jack cheese are Phenomenal Casserole and Instant Pot Breakfast Enchiladas.
