This Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is made with sweet corn and diced green chiles all baked together in a rich cream cheese sauce! This is the ultimate comfort food and makes the perfect side dish for holidays or potlucks.
Here in the Midwest, corn dishes are just a way of life. We’re putting corn on the table multiple times a week, whether it’s sweet corn on the cob, our Jiffy corn casserole, or cornbread salad. And of course this summer corn salad is always a hit!
We love this rich cream cheese corn casserole for holiday dinners or just when we’re feeling like we need a pile of comfort food.
The rich cream cheese sauce bakes up to make a thick and creamy corn casserole that is seriously hard to resist.
Ingredient Notes:
Corn – Fresh or frozen corn will work. We usually go with frozen to keep things simple.
Creamy Cheese Sauce – You’ll melt together butter, cream cheese, and milk.
Green Chiles – This adds a little contrast to the sweet corn without adding much heat. You can swap in canned jalapenos for more spice, if you like.
Cheese – Cheddar and monerey jack or pepper jack will be great here.
What We Love About This Recipe:
- It’s a pretty quick casserole recipe that doesn’t require a lot of preparation.
- All that creamy, cheesy flavor!
- The dish isn’t really spicy, but we love the contrast of the green chiles with the sweet corn.
