Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

  3. Stir in the thawed corn and mix to combine.

Notes

  • Add a splash of broth or milk when reheating leftovers.
  • Try adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
