Notes
- Look for the words ‘sweet corn’ on the can when purchasing canned corn.
- Frozen corn can be cooked the same way as canned corn. Frozen corn may take a few more minutes to become hot.
- Use chicken broth instead of water for even more flavor.
- Season this easy canned corn recipe with salt and pepper.
- When cooking corn, do not allow the water to boil off. Cook corn until it is just warmed through so you don’t have chewy, overcooked corn.
- Drain the excess water from the corn before serving.
