Description
A warm, cheesy, and comforting Loaded Cornbread Casserole packed with bacon, sweet corn, green chilies, and a tender golden crust. Perfect for weeknights, potlucks, or any cozy family meal.
Ingredients
1 package (8.5 oz) cornbread mix
1 cup sour cream
1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
1 can (4 oz) green chilies, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, diced
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: diced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix the cornbread mix, sour cream, cream-style corn, green chilies, half of the cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, eggs, and melted butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Grease a cast-iron skillet or a 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour in the batter and smooth the top.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
A tablespoon of honey gives a sweet-savory twist.
Reheating tip: Add a splash of milk before warming to keep it moist.
Pairs beautifully with chili, BBQ, or roasted chicken.
