Creamed Corn 2 Ways

I can never decide which version of creamed corn I like the best so I'm sharing both recipes with you. One is a sweet and simple recipe and the other is more savory and lively.

Sweet Creamed Corn

1 16oz package frozen corn in butter sauce
1 tablespoon sugar (plus more if desired)
salt and pepper to taste

In a large saucepan add cream cheese and let soften over medium heat, about 2-3 minutes. Add frozen corn and stir to combine. Slowly add sugar and season with salt and/or pepper to taste. Bring to a low and slow boil and turn down heat to medium-low. Let simmer for 20 minutes.


Creamed Corn with Green Chilis

1 16oz package frozen corn in butter sauce
3 oz cream cheese
2 tablespoons chopped green chilies (canned is fine)

In a large saucepan add cream cheese and let soften over medium heat, about 2-3 minutes. Add frozen corn and green chilies, stirring to combine. Sprinkle in garlic powder and salt and pepper as desired. Bring to a low and slow boil and turn down heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes.
