Easy Creamed Corn
Description
The recipe starts by melting cream cheese, butter, and minced garlic together, then stirring in milk to form a smooth sauce. Corn kernels—whether frozen, canned, or roasted—are added with dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to season. The mixture is spread into a baking dish and topped with shredded cheddar cheese, then baked until bubbly and golden.
The final dish has a creamy texture accented by melted cheddar and the savory aroma of garlic and thyme. Baking melds the flavors and gives a slightly browned topping. Parsley garnish adds a fresh finish. This creamed corn is a warm, rich side perfect for complementing various main courses.
