  5. Fold in corn kernels and diced green chilies until evenly coated.
  6. Add one cup of shredded cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature to avoid lumps. Use fresh or high-quality frozen corn for best results. Adjust seasoning based on the sweetness of the corn.
