Easy Creamed Corn


I am always on the look out for delicious yet easy vegetable side dishes. This one fit perfectly into that category, delicious yet easy. If I had not told my family I was counting on leftovers for another meal I really think they would have eaten all of it. That is how much they loved it. 


For this creamed corn you can substitute the frozen corn for canned or even fresh. Whatever works best for you. I always have some frozen corn in the freezer so that is what I used that.
