How to Make Simple Jalapeno Corn Casserole

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter, and 1/2 cup of milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and melted (about 1 minute).
  2. Gently stir in 2 cups of frozen or canned corn, 1/2 cup of chopped jalapenos (remove seeds for less heat), and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the corn mixture into the prepared dish.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. For best results, let cool slightly before serving. Even better the next day after chilling overnight!
  6. If desired, top with shredded cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
