This casserole with corn, jalapenos, and cream cheese is similar to another one on this site, but much better. This side can go with any Mexican dish and many more. I even made it as part of our Thanksgiving dinner.
Made this first time as stated and it was good, but needed a little tweaking. I have used both canned and frozen corn with good results. It was a little runny when made as written so I do add more flour. I like to use fresh jalapenos with the seeds as we like spicy. For a variation of this recipe I have also added rotel and mozzarella cheese. Good side dish and super easy.

I use less butter and just make a classic rue and then melt the cream cheese into that. Be careful taking this to family functions though, they will expect you to bring it every time!
I cut the jalapenos in half, only because I have kids, and added one chopped red pepper that I'd sauteed in a little bit of the butter. I also used FF cream cheese. We liked this. Next time, I'd like to do half sour cream.

My boyfriend and I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Everyone was asking for seconds. We added some fried onion crisps and cheddar cheese and little extra flour to thicken it up. We also used fresh jalapenos and sprinkled it with cayenne pepper to spice it up. This will definitely be a regular at family meals!!
Didn't really care for this one. kind of runny and plain beside the spice from the jalpenos. will not make again .
I made this along with Black Bean Soup. I added some Southwestern Seasoning to the cream cheese mixture. Family loved it! Great dish to take to a potluck.
This is SOOO good! I literally didn't change this recipe one bit and it was perfect. The hubby accidentally got fat free cream cheese and it was amazing, but I bet it would be heavenly with the normal cream cheese.
Like the person who submitted this recipe I had tried the other version of this recipe, but like this one better. I made the following modifications: did not have milk on hand so I used heavy whipping cream diluted with a little water; I topped my casserole with cheese cracker crumbs tossed in melted butter and seasoned with a little garlic salt. Even my picky son in law liked this!
Extremely easy recipe that everyone always loves! I follow the recipe exactly and it is always a favorite. It is by no means healthy but is great for our large family gatherings a few times a year.
I followed the recipe as it was written. My son amd grandsons loved it! It will be a repeat thru out the year and passed on. yum
My teenage son begs me for this every Thanksgiving! This year I am going to teach him to make it, ensuring his undying love for me - thanks!!!
