Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s piping hot when the casserole goes in.
Step 2: Mix the Casserole
In a large mixing bowl, stir together:
-
Cornbread mix
-
Sour cream
-
Cream-style corn
-
Green chilies
-
Half of the cheddar cheese
-
Bacon
-
Green onions
-
Eggs
-
Melted butter
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. This one-bowl step makes cleanup a breeze!
Step 3: Transfer to Baking Dish
Grease a skillet or baking dish (9×9-inch square or similar) and pour in the cornbread mixture. Smooth it out with a spatula for even baking.
Step 4: Top with Cheese
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. This creates a gooey, golden crust you’ll want to dive right into.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Step 6: Rest & Serve
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
