Frozen Creamed Corn Food

15-MINUTE CREAMED CORN - FROM FROZEN CORN!

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat and cook onions, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until very soft. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the frozen corn kernels according to package directions. I prefer the type that you can steam in the bag, in the microwave.
• Add the milk, broth and cooked corn and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Add the corn and 1 1/2 cups water to a large pot or Dutch oven and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of the corn and liquid to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir the pureed corn back into the pot and return to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and 2/3 cup water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the contents of the pot and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and another 1 teaspoon salt.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Cut the kernels off the corn and place in a bowl. Use the back of a knife or a butter knife to "milk" the cobs. (This means applying pressure to remove any of the juice left from the kernels being cut off.)
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the corn and any liquid scraped from the cobs. Cook until the kernels are bright yellow, shiny and softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir in the cream cheese until it is melted and combined into the corn, another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer the corn to a serving dish and sprinkle with the chives. Serve immediately.

SOUTHERN CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cut the tip off cob. Cut the kernels from cob with a small paring knife. Using the back of the blade, scrape against the cob to press out the milky liquid.
• Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine with corn. Add the heavy cream and water. Mix.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat bacon grease. Add corn mixture and turn heat down to medium-low, stirring until it becomes creamy, about 30 minutes.
• Add the butter right before serving.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Cook corn according to package directions; I use the microwave.

• Add milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, and blend with whisk.
• Cook over medium heat until thickened.
• Stir in sugar, salt and pepper.
• Add cooked, drained corn.
• Hint: sometimes I use part milk, part cream.

• Pour into large baking pan.
• Add milk, butter, sugar, salt and remaining corn.
• Cover and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
