    This is easy and really yummy. My mother made this long ago and I forgotten all about it. Thank you for sharing this!

  • Rose

    Addictive!

  • Diane

    I made this for the first time tonight and it was very good. We like spicy, so I added a few diced jalapeno slices to it. One good thing about corn, it fits alongside everything, but Cheerios! Try it, you’ll love it… we certainly did!

    […] Easy Addicting Corn: basically, this is just a way to jazz up frozen corn, which is very exciting if you are me and tired of just plain boiled/steamed corn yet have children who clamor for corn. Sophie especially loved this so much, I think she would have eaten it without any other dish, and I really liked it too. […]

    Made this tonight, husband loved it and he’s a picky eater.

    • Watson

      Yay!!!

  • Andrea

    I found this recipe on Pinterest and made it with dinner tonight. Frozen corn has a tendency to get mushy when cooked in the microwave (at least for me, anyway) but this stayed nice and crisp and had great flavor. No more boring microwaved corn for this family! Thanks!

  • MattKlein

    Great recipe! Used canned corn with just a little of the liquid, and a little less pepper, turned out perfect. Will make again.

  • Rose

    Made this with some grilled shrimp (with knock-off BangBang sauce) and some brown rice – we all LOVED it! 🙂 I can’t wait to make this again – we only had half a bag of corn so there weren’t any leftovers :-/

    Thanks for a quick, easy, and delicious recipe!

  • Bianca

    It was good but there was a little too much pepper. Don’t get me wrong, I love spice and flavor but next time I will do less. Thank you for a new idea on changing up a sometimes boring vegetable.

  • billie

    sounds good,going to try

  • Jessica

    This was SO EASY and very DELICIOUS! I only had smoked paprika, and it gave it a great smokey flavor that I think was even better. It really doesn’t take any more time to make this as opposed to regular frozen corn, but it tastes like it does! I will definitely be making this again!

    • Watson

      Yay!!! Thank you for the feedback 🙂

  • kelly mcgrew

    looks so easy! loving the photography also!

  • Shannah

    Our family loves this recipe!

  • Allie Talley

    My hubby and I jokingly call this “crack corn” because it is truly addictive!

  • Miranda

    Yummy!

  • Raleigh Pierce

    Hi, Your recipe is similar to mine.the only difference is that I fry the corn and butter to a scorch ,then I scrape the scorched butter from the pan and then I mix with the corn, then I add the other ingredients. I also like the way you make it.now I have 2 corn mix side recipes .Thank-you!

  • theresa

    That looks great, thank you for the recipe.

    Also, “addicting” is not a word. It should be “addictive.”

  • Stephanie

    This is easy and tastes great! But I’d make one small change. Do not put the cheese in the corn while it is still hot, even for only 10 seconds. My cheese melted into one big gob (as parmesan tends to do), scooping up most of the butter and seasoning in the process. I plucked the cheese gob out, quickly re-seasoned, and then sprinkled the cheese on top when serving. Delicious!

    • Yolanda

      Same thing happened to me, great advice!

  • Cyndi

    Anyone use grated parmesan?

  • CThomson

    Delicious! Thanks for this great way to cook corn. Very tasty.
