Ingredients
Instructions

- Pour the mixture into a baking dish coated with Pam non-stick spray.
- Top the casserole with grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until nicely browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in diced green chilies or jalapeños. If you don’t have Jiffy cornbread mix, a homemade cornbread recipe can work, but adjust the baking powder accordingly. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream or any milk you have on hand, like almond or oat milk, for a dairy-free version.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the casserole a day in advance. Just mix the ingredients and store it covered in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven to ensure even cooking.
What can I use instead of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese?
Feel free to use any cheese you prefer or have on hand. Pepper Jack adds a nice kick, while mozzarella offers a milder flavor. A blend of your favorite cheeses can also enhance the dish's taste and texture.
Can I freeze the corn casserole?
Yes, this casserole can be frozen before or after baking. If freezing before baking, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed. If already baked, reheat in the oven until warmed through.
