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.
