Cheesy, smoky Southern-style cornbread casserole with bacon, corn, and green chilies

Ingredients

  •  

    • 8.5 ounces cornbread mix (one package)
    • 1 cups sour cream
    • 15 ounces cream-style corn (one can)
    • 4 ounces green chilies, drained (one can)
    • 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 0.5 cups chopped cooked bacon
    • 0.5 cups diced green onions
    • 2 large eggs
    • 0.3 cups melted butter
    • 0.5 teaspoons salt
    • 0.3 teaspoons black pepper

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.

 

 


Notes

Halal option: swap bacon for halal beef bacon (nearly identical flavor and crisp), and add 1 extra tbsp melted butter to compensate for lower fat rendering. Want more heat? Use diced jalapeu00f1os instead of green chilies, or pepper jack instead of cheddar. Fridge: up to 4 days. Freezer: up to 3 months, wrapped tightly. Add a splash of milk or cream before reheating.
