Texmex Cheesy Cream Corn Food

TEXMEX CHEESY CREAM CORN

Steps:

• 1. Begin by cooking the bacon. I like to lay it on a baking sheet and cook in the oven on 375° for about 20 min, time depends on thickness of bacon. Once cooked, allow it to cool then chop it up and set aside.
• 2. You will need to chop your peppers, you can use regular orange & red bell peppers, or the mini sweet peppers. For the heat in the dish, Serrano and Jalapenos are hotter than Anaheim peppers. For the scallions I like to use scissors, just cut the green off of a few bunches, into small pieces.
• 3. Now remove the corn from the cob.
• 4. In a medium size bowl place all your dry ingredients, season with granulated garlic, granulated onion, sugar, black pepper and McCormick's Mexican seasoning. Toss really well to incorporate all the seasonings with the corn. Now add in the grated cheese and bacon and toss again. You can add salt, but if you are using store bought chicken broth, be sure to taste test the mixture first for saltiness before adding any.
• 5. In a small saucepan heat 1 c of chicken broth with 8 oz of cream cheese on very low until you are able to whisk the cheese and break it down completely. Pour the warm cheese sauce over top and mix together, then place in a casserole dish or an elec. skillet that you have sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven on 350° for about 20-30 min. If using an elec. skillet, place on warm for about 15 min. All you're really trying to do is melt the cheese and infuse some of the pepper flavor into the dish.
• 6. Allow to cool for about 20 min. before serving. Garnish with cilantro when serving.

TEX-MEX CHEX

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 250° F.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine the cereals, pepitas, pistachios, and pretzel sticks.
• 3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Pour this mixture over the cereal mixture and toss well to coat but gently so as not to break the cereal and pretzels.
• 4. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the mixture cool, and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

CP'S CHEESY CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Invert a small bowl in a very large bowl. Hold the corn so it's standing up on top of the inverted bowl with the thick base at the bottom. Carefully shave off all the kernels from the corn cobs with a knife. Add the corn to a medium saucepan, then take a tablespoon and scrape the cobs where the kernels once were. What you will get is a sweet/milky/starchy slurry that will help thicken your corn. Add the half-and-half and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened, add the pecorino and stir to combine, allowing it to melt and incorporate.
• Cut the prosciutto into narrow ribbons and add half of it to the creamed corn mixture along with the mascarpone and butter. Add the remaining prosciutto to a deep-fryer, or small saute pan with hot olive oil and fry until crispy, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate before stirring into the creamed corn. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt before serving.
