Cheesy Cream Corn
It doesn't get much easier than this to make a deliciously creamy, cheesy corn side dish.
Recipe Ingredients:
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained*
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Cooking Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese, butter, salt and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until cheese melts.
- Add the drained corn and stir to combine, continue cooking and stirring just until mixture is hot. Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Makes 8 servings.
*I've prepared this with both frozen corn (a 12-ounce package) and canned corn, and I much prefer using canned corn for this recipe. The texture of the canned corn is "firmer", the frozen corn was "mushy and waxy".
