For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk. Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to your desired level of spice. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese can be sprinkled on top before baking for added flavor and visual appeal. If you don't have a microwave, melt the cream cheese and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
03
StepPour the melted cream cheese mixture into a large skillet. Whisk in the milk and flour until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (approximately 3-5 minutes).
04
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the drained corn and chopped jalapeño peppers. Add this mixture to the cream cheese sauce in the skillet. Season generously with salt and stir to combine thoroughly.
05
StepPour the corn and cream cheese mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading evenly.
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, approximately 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (30 minutes)

Apr 14, 2025I didn't have any jalapeños, so I used a dash of hot sauce instead. It still tasted great!
