Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine butter, egg whites, and cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Stir in onion, bell pepper, whole-kernel corn, green chiles, and cream-style corn; mix well.

Add muffin mix and spices, stirring until well combined. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Bake for 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. To garnish with the cheese, wait until the surface forms a crust, about 40 minutes. Cover with a light layer. It will create a divine crust with a vague, cheesy flavor.
