Ingredients
  • 6-8 ounces of pre-grated Mexican blend cheese
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can cream style corn (14.75 ounces)
  • 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 1 small can chopped green chilis (4 ounces)
  • 1 can red enchilada sauce (10 ounces)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
  • sour cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Mix together ½ cup cheese, milk, egg, cayenne pepper, cumin, cream style corn, corn muffin mix, and chopped green chilis (DRAINED!).
  3. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 baking pan or casserole dish.
  4. Bake the mixture at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until set. (It's ok to take it out, test it, and put it back in. It's a very forgiving recipe.)
  5. Poke the top of the baked mixture all over.
  6. Pour the red enchilada sauce on top of the mixture as evenly as possible.
  7. Add the chicken and as much of the remaining cheese as you desire on top.
  8. Bake it again, this time for an addition 15 minutes so the cheese is melted.
  9. Once you remove it from the oven, let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  10. Serve it up with a generous dollop of sour cream on top. YUM YUM!
