Ingredients

• 3 cups shoepeg corn
• 2 4-ounce cans green chiles (diced, canned)
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup crushed tortilla chips (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream, green chiles (with their liquid), and shoepeg corn. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

If desired, top with crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
