One-Pot Cheesy Creamed Corn
Description
This dish starts with sautéing corn kernels in butter with garlic, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor. Cream cheese and milk are added and stirred until combined, creating a creamy base. Shredded cheddar melts in, thickening the mixture and adding sharp, cheesy richness. Chopped chives and chili flakes provide a fresh and mildly spicy garnish.
The texture is creamy but with kernels intact, offering a comforting and indulgent side. This can accompany various mains or be served as a snack.
Different corn types can be used: fresh roasted corn cut from the cob, canned, or thawed frozen corn. Chives may be substituted with fresh parsley as preferred.
Ingredients
- 3 oz kernel corn thawed and drained, frozen
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese cubed

- 3 Tbsp chives chopped
- 1 Tsp chili flakes optional
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter into a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in corn, garlic, salt, and pepper and saute for 4-5 minutes.

Notes

- Fresh chives may be replaced with fresh parsley if desired for garnish.
