Sweet Mexican Creamed Corn

Creamed Mexican Corn

This slightly Mexican side dish is naturally sweet from the fresh corn. It's easy to make and customize to your own level of spice. Serve it alongside a plate of Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas, as the base of a Cast Iron Pan-Seared Steak, spice up the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, or thin it just a bit and serve it as a soup.

Remember what I always say, a recipe is just guidance, not a rule. Tweak it to fit your palate or your menu, and above all, enjoy!
