Ingredients
  

1 (8.5 oz) box of cornbread mix

1 cup of milk

2 large eggs

1 cup canned cream-style corn

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)

1 (4 oz) can of diced Hatch green chiles (drained)

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup sour cream

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until combined.

        Combine Corn and Cheese: Add the cream-style corn, sour cream, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and diced Hatch green chiles to the bowl. Stir until everything is well mixed.

          Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the cornbread mix, chopped onion, garlic powder, cumin, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.

            Pour and Bake: Pour the cornbread batter into the greased baking dish. Spread it evenly, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Garnish: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

                  Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Hatch Green Chili Cornbread Casserole with a side of salsa or sour cream for an extra kick!
