Spicy Creamy Baked Corn - Andrea MeyersFollow Me on Pinterest

[Notes from Andrea: I originally wrote this recipe as part of a promotion for The Real Women of Philadelphia contest in 2011. The site and videos created for the contest have been taken down, but I am leaving the recipe here for my readers to enjoy!]

There’s still time to enter The Real Women of Philadelphia recipe contest. This week the theme is Veggie Revival with vegetable side dishes. I make this creamy and spicy baked corn with a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies for plenty of spicy flavor, and the lowfat milk and cream cheese gives a rich, baked corn texture. This dish also works well with fresh corn in season, just shave corn from about 8 cobs. It’s easy to make, just precook the ingredients on the stove, then bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.

  3. Add the corn kernels and milk and cook over medium heat until the mixture is thoroughly warmed, about 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese chunks and cook until melted, about 5 more minutes. Add the sea salt and pepper and stir the mixture well.
  4. Pour into a 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray and spread evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheddar over the top. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and is lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then serve.
