Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen sweet corn
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the frozen sweet corn to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the skillet along with the milk. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and combines with the milk to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasonings to taste.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is fully coated in the creamy sauce and heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the corn with cream cheese to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish.
