Mix batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and milk until smooth. Stir in the corn muffin mix until just combined.
Add mix-ins. Fold in the corn, roasted jalapeños, bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve. Let cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Corn options. Canned or frozen corn both work. Frozen corn does not need to be thawed.
Storage. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Freezing. Freeze in a freezer-safe container for 3 to 6 months. Thaw before reheating.
Muffins. For muffins, divide batter into a greased muffin tin and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
