How to Make Mexicali Spoon Bread Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and green chiles.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and corn.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or chopped cilantro (optional).
