How to make Mexican Street Corn Beef Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until they start to become fragrant and translucent. Add the ground beef and brown until cooked through.
3. While the hamburger is cooking, combine the corn, Jiffy corn muffin mix, mayo, sour cream, melted butter, crumbled Cotija cheese, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice to a large bowl and stir to combine.

4. Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Drain the hamburger and add to the greased baking dish.

5. Pour the corn muffin mixture over the top and bake for 60 minutes or until the corn bread is set and a knife comes out clean.

6. Serve warm, top with cilantro and additional Cotija cheese.

Recipe FAQs

Can you make Mexican street corn beef casserole the night before?

Yes! You can prepare the casserole the night before then cover and refrigerate. When ready to bake, simply pop it into a preheated oven and bake according to the directions.

Can I substitute creamed corn for corn?

You can, however, it’s not necessary with this recipe due to it already having mayo and sour cream mixed into the topping.

Is Mexican street corn beef casserole gluten-free?

This recipe as written is not gluten-free because Jiffy corn muffin mix is not a gluten-free product. If you need to adapt the recipe to a gluten-free version, I would suggest using Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free cornbread mix.
