1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, sour cream, cream-style corn, and diced green chilies. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Add in the chopped bacon, green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese, folding until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until blended. Add to the casserole mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully stir everything together to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, smoothing the top.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Once baked, allow cooling for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

This casserole is versatile—consider adding spices like smoked paprika or other vegetables for a personal touch. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
