Provided by Julie Clark

Categories     Main Dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound taco seasoned ground beef ((either leftover meat or beef cooked specifically for this purpose))
8 ounces Jiffy Corn Muffin mix ((1 box))
15 ounces whole kernel corn ((drained))
15 ounces creamed corn ((not drained))
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced green chilies ((drained))
pico de gallo
sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together and pour into a greased 9x9" or 9x13" baking pan. (NOTE: Ours fit in an 9" baking pan with deep sides. This casserole WILL expand slightly while baking so if you are afraid of it spilling over or want it to bake more quickly, use a 9x13 baking pan. Baking time will change if you use a different pan.)
  • This casserole will take about 60-70 minutes to bake if using a square 9x9 baking dish or 45-50 minutes in a 9x13 baking pan. Bake until lightly browned and set in the center. (The exact time will depend on the pan you use so watch it closely. The center should not be jiggly. If it is a deep casserole it will take longer to bake.)
  • Serve immediately with fresh salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
