Creamed Corn
Creamed Corn is a warm, soft textured side dish combining tender screen corn with a rich mixture of butter, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. The seasoning includes salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for a mild savory balance. The corn is cooked gently to soften then blended with dairy ingredients to create a smooth and creamy sauce consistency. This dish complements many mains while adding a comforting, cheesy flavor with a hint of garlic and a garnish of fresh parsley adds brightness.

Notes
- Keep creamed corn refrigerated and consume within 4 days for safety and freshness.
