I made this corn casserole without jalapeno peppers using just ground black pepper, but you may also add jalapeno peppers or diced chile peppers (discard any liquids if using canned peppers).

It is so easy to add the sliced jalapeno peppers or diced chile peppers to add more spiciness to the corn casserole if you wish, about which I have explained more in this post.

So here is how you can make cheesy cream cheese corn casserole with minimal ingredients without using jiffy mix or sour cream.

How To Make Cheesy Corn Casserole With Cream Cheese & Frozen Corn?

We need the following ingredients to make homemade cream cheese corn casserole from scratch.

ingredients to make cheesy corn casserole

frozen corn kernels 12 oz

cream cheese 8 oz softened

milk ¼ cup

butter 4 tablespoons melted

ground black pepper 1 teaspoon (or black pepper powder)

salt adjust to taste

In a large bowl, place the softened cream cheese.

Using a fork, you can break the softened cheese very well and then mix well using a spoon.

Also add the milk and melted butter, mix well using a spoon to form a mixture. If some of the cream cheese mixture is not smooth, it is totally fine.

You can use a spoon to press the mixture gently to the pan so it is evenly spread.

Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes.

Once this is baked, carefully take the pan out.

Increase the oven temperature to 400 degree Fahrenheit.

Place the baking pan back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes so the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown in color!

Can you add jalapeno peppers to corn cream cheese casserole?

Yes, you can add jalapeno peppers or diced chile peppers if you want to!

You may add about 2 tablespoons (or according to your preference) with the cheese corn mixture and use another one tablespoon to top the casserole.

You can slice the jalapenos and add to the casserole when you prepare the mixture. If you do not want it very spicy, you may remove the seeds easily before slicing the peppers in rounds.

You may keep the black pepper powder or reduce the amount of it, or totally skip it if you decide to add the jalapeno peppers or diced chile peppers, to adjust the level of spiciness.

If you use canned peppers, make sure to drain any liquids before adding the peppers to the casserole.

How long does cream cheese corn casserole last in the fridge?

You can store this cream cheese corn casserole in the refrigerator for another 2 to 3 days! I do not recommend storing for more days since we use frozen corn in the recipe. If you used fresh corn, you may store this upto one week.

Can you freeze cream cheese corn casserole?

You can freeze cream cheese casserole in freezer safe bags or containers, if you use fresh corn in the recipe.

If you use frozen corn like I use in this recipe, I do not recommend freezing since the corn was already frozen prior to cooking.

On the other hand, if you used fresh corn, you might consider freezing this for upto 1 to 2 months time for an easy freezer meal.

However, keep in mind that many dairy products including cream cheese and sour cream doesn’t keep it texture well, once it is frozen. So you may not have the exact same texture once it is frozen.

If you decide to freeze the cream cheese casserole, make sure to use freezer safe bags or containers and freeze for upto 1 to 2 months.

Once ready to use, defrost or thaw in the refrigerator prior to reheating in the microwave.
