Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together corn muffin mix, 1½ cups cheese, and remaining 4 ingredients. Spread half of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese. Spoon remaining batter on top of cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes; cut into wedges to serve.
Notes
*We used Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.
