I made this zesty corn casserole for Christmas dinner and it's now one of my favorite tried and true side dishes. We needed another side and this combo was brewing in the back of my mind for some time. I thought it would be perfect with my Corn Bread & Sausage stuffing in keeping with the Southern theme I had going on. And I was right. I threw it together at the last minute and crossed my fingers & my toes that it would turn out. That's just one of the things I love about it. It's quick to make as well as to bake but doesn't sacrifice quality or flavor. I made it since then for a companion to tacos. It's great alongside any kind of Tex-Mex or Mexican food as well as steak or chicken. It's creamy, piquant, with a little bit of sweetness from the corn; totally satisfying, comforting and melt-in-your mouth delicious.

This casserole looks SO delicious! I have had a can of green chiles in the pantry for a while and didn't know what to do with them :)
I love the golden crumb topping on this gorgeous casserole! I can see how this side dish would pair perfectly with just about anything. Awww, Moon is adorable! :)
This looks incredibly delicious!! It reminded me of mac and cheese. YUM!
On my to-do list. Perfect winter side - easy and savory-delicious. I hope Moon got his call!
Yum...reminds me of a corn casserole I've had, minus the green chilies.
Now that's what I'm talking about. I love that, I could eat it all day I'm sure.
Corn casserole looks awesome...liked the second pic with golden crunchy topping
That looks so gooS! I may have to try this!
oh how I love corn, it is even better when it's made into a casserole dish. The green chiles are a great addition to this dish since they such awesome spice and flavoring. I'm just getting hungry looking at the photos.
Reeni, how delicious is that? I can taste it now. I love corn. I'll be trying this recipe soon. Thanks.
I am sensing a lot of cheesey goodness going on in that casserole. It looks awesome.
*kisses* HH

Just stopped by to grab your carrot pasta recipe. I'm making it for dinner. Thank-you!

Nice looking casserole. With the added flavor of the chile, I think I'd end up having two servings of that.
This is definitely my kind of food! Looks so creamy and yummy.
The topping looks so crisp and delicious! I love everything in this lovely casserole!
What a beautiful and delicious looking dish! Compliments Reeni! xo
I think I could make a pig of myself over this. I need to make it.
I have a favorite recipe from a friend that's similar. It's corn, cheese, and rice. The green chiles and sour cream in yours sound great!
I've been trying to find a new casserole to try this week and this one looks so good! Thanks,
Susan
This really looks good! I would love it with a cup of tortilla soup. Btw, tried to drop and couldn't find you widget...did you move it?
Oh Yummy ~ I think I will make this for Sunday to take to Super Bowl Party - have you ever doubled this recipe??
this is something i would eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. it looks fantastic!
Y-U-M! This blog makes me hungry-always:)
I never tried chile & corn together with cheddar like this dish, but I'm sure that it tastes absolutely superb!!!
All the best,
Gera
Hi Reeni, This looks incredible. I guess I'll have to blow my diet for this one. I bet it would be great to serve for the Super Bowl this weekend. It's still cold here, so this looks very comforting too! haven't chatted with you in a while and so I hope that you are doing well! Ciao, Roz
Casseroles are wonderful this time of the year!!! I really like your new site!!!
I love this casserole! :)
And did I somehow miss your birthday? If I did, then HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REENI!!!!! :)
This looks so good! We make something similar but I think yours sounds even better!
I'm to the point when we are looking for new recipes, instead of going to a cookbook I say "go to Reeni and Moon's blog!".
Purrs to that handsome Mancat Moon!
Delicious!!! I love that crispy crunchy topping. I would love some right now.
I would like to try this one!
Now that's comfort! Looks like a great side dish. Love the green chilies!
Oh my heavens, big time scrumptiousness!!!
Your recipe sounds fabulous Reeni. I don't like changing such well thought out recipes but since I have freshly made, greek style yogurt setting up in the fridge, would you mind very much if I used that rather than sour cream?
Thank you so much for sharing...I'll be dreaming about this tonight for sure!!!
This looks absolutely divine!! I'm soooo making this tomorrow!!
I'm sure I would just love this. Thanks :)
Wow this looks so good I could almost smell it! LOL
Im gonna try it, hope it turns out as beautiful as yours, thanks! :)
I love preparing casseroles, ans Reeni this looks fabulous. My family loves corn and I green chilies so I know this would be a winner.
It looks so creamy and delicious! Yum!
You're a true original. I've never seen anything like this before!
This looks great - so much better than the corn and squash casserole I tried to make a few months ago!
This is what I like to call the holy trinity of C's. Chiles, cheddar, and corn. Amazing.
Now that is exactly my type of food! Looks delicious Reeni...I would love to have that on my table tonight!!!
I cooked a similar recipe yesterday, I think I will try also your recipe!
Such a yummy casserole, must be extra comforting in your cold weather right now
I love this combination - looks amazingly tasty.
I've been feeling a bit blue today, but I think a large bowl of this would cheer me up. Care to pass one my way?
Dear Reeni, This sounds great. A great combination of flavors! Blessings to you always, Catherine
Just stopped back in to be sure I hadn't forgotten anything in this recipe so I can try it over the weekend! Thank you-
Susan
That looks so yummy! I love corn with anything!
Gosh these look so good...I have so much to learn from you.
This looks great. I know I would need to double this as and 8x8 casserole would only feed my teenage son!
Mimi
I'm so glad I saw this before I went to the store...yum!!!
Reeni why do you do this to me? Now I'm going to be craving this delicious dish all night long!
Mmmm....delicious! Just having this alone for lunch is enough to make me happy for the rest of the day. I love all the sweet corn in it.
Yum! My mom made almost this exact same dish (minus the chiles and cheese) as a side when I was a kid- we called it corn pudding. My heart leapt with nostalgic joy when I saw the photo!
Wow, that looks oey gooey good! Thanks for the recipe and great pics.
Love, love corn casseroles and this one looks to die for.
mmm, so hearty, wintery and delicious! Way to go, cinnamon girl!

I had a corn casserole for the first time this past Thanksgiving and loved it! I'm interested to see what it tastes like with the chiles mixed in, yum!
This casserole sounds fantastic! I love the green chilies here!
This is my kind of side dish! I'll be making this one for sure, and soon!
I just had to print this one out to try it! It sounds SO delicious!!

Yum, perfect comfort food!

This is alot like my go to corn casserole, but with green chiles. What a wonderful addition. Wish I'd thought of it before. Thank you!
Reeni! This is so awesome. My husband and youngest child would love me forever when I make this; heck I'll love me too! lol

Who Dat!
Call me crazy, but I think I'd mix in some partially cooked elbows and make it chile and mac casserole.
ewwy gooey delicious!
This casserole looks so good! My mouth waters. I think I will be making this soon.
Yummie, the cassarole looks so delicious, love the combination corn and chile...I need to get some chile :-)
I don't cook often with corn although I love it. The recipe is definitely a keeper.
The golden brown topping looks amazing!
Corn chile cheddar.. the best combination . Of all the casseroles the corn in my favorite. Love it.
Mm, I'm glad it turned out and you posted this - it looks so flavorful and comforting!
Reeni, there is all kinds of good in this dish! Shazam!!
You just solved my problem. I have main course from the freezer but I needed something good to serve with it.
I think this just may be it. Thanks.
Also, I am glad you shared that yummy recipe at my Meatless Mondays. We want everyone to make it. It looks so delicious.
oh wow! I'm loving this dish...the ingredients, the eye appeal! Definitely giving it a try.
