Corn is a staple in our household. We love corn on the cob, straight from the can, creamed and of course baked. I first made this dish when I was asked to bring a side to our friends Dave and Jessica’s football party and I’ve been making it ever since. When I serve a crowd I love being able to throw everything into a baking dish, bake it and serve it from the same dish. This is especially handy when you have to tote it to someone else’s house.
This simple corn casserole is so easy and good. The cream cheese and evaporated milk adds creaminess and the jalapenos and green chiles add just enough kick to the dish. It’s the perfect side dish for game day or other get togethers such as Thanksgiving or Christmas. You can make the jalapeno and corn casserole in advance and bake it the day of. It will definitely be a crowd pleaser.

This sounds amazing 🙂 I have a gathering to attend tomorrow, and am still undecided on what to make. I just may try this!
It sounds so creamy, plus a little spicy to play off the sweet corn. Yum. Ever had corn pudding? Come up to LA, so we can make you Southern style corn pudding! 🙂 You would lurve it.
I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit, absolutely no leftovers. Mahalo for sharing such a wonderful recipe : )

This looks delicious…I am making it for Christmas
Ok yum. And so easy. I made this interesting dish tonight and it warmed my chilled bones!
Abigail-Madison: Thank you!! I hope you and your family enjoyed it on Christmas! Happy New Year!
Amanda: I’m so glad you liked the recipe! It’s definitely a “comfort” dish. Take care!
This is very similar to the green chili corn I grew up on in New Mexico. I think the “cream” part was better than what i usually make….but I needed more heat! After I had it all mixed up, I tasted it and couldn’t taste the chili/jap! I added another 7 oz can of hot hatch green chilies, cayenne pepper, and jalapeño salt. Then it was perfect! Though, next time I’m just not going to seed the jalapeño and I think that will do the trick!
I’m going to make this for Father’s Day (to go with Chipotle beef tacos)! How much frozen corn would equal 4 cans?
Brooke: You would need about 7.5 cups of drained canned corn. Sounds perfect with chipotle beef tacos!
Amanda: All those extra spices sound great! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent!
