  • ½ cup low fat milk

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the corn, salt, pepper and garlic powder and cook until the corn softens, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cream cheese and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and stir until sauce is thickened, about 3-5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Storage: The creamed corn will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Instead of butter, you can use olive oil, but I love the taste of butter with corn.
  • Instead of milk, you can add vegetable or chicken broth, but the milk does help to create a more creamy consistency.
  • Instead of cheddar cheese, you can use any other shredded cheese or leave it out. I often make it with gouda cheese!
