Honey Butter Skillet Corn
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey together. Once melted, add the frozen corn.
- Cook the corn for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through.
- Add the cream cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the corn is coated in the creamy sauce.
- Serve immediately. If you have leftovers, they keep well in the refrigerator, stored in a covered container.
Notes:
- This recipe yields 6 side dish servings. If you’re serving little kids, you can easily stretch it to 8 servings.
- I love using gold n’ white corn for this recipe, but any frozen corn will work perfectly. Just make sure to use a 1 lb (16 oz) bag.
