Method
 

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 until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Crumble and set aside. Prepare jalapeños and green onions.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, then stir in melted butter, sour cream, milk, creamed corn, and whole kernel corn until mostly smooth.
  4. Fold in Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  5. Stir in sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt gently.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing evenly, then top with reserved cheese and bacon.
  7. Bake in the oven for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, garnishing with reserved green onion tops.
