Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to drain.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, milk, creamed corn, and whole kernel corn until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the Jiffy corn muffin mix, being careful not to overmix. Aim for a tender cornbread texture.
  5. Fold in the crumbled bacon, cheese, jalapeños, green onion whites, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved cheese and bacon on top.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown, and check doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving, optionally garnishing with green onion tops.
