"Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep."
-Benjamin Franklin, Genius
Most creamed corn recipes are really high in fat, salt, or both. It depends on whether you buy frozen or canned or make you own, but most all of them are just over the top nutritionally.
This recipe gives you so much of what is terrific about a creamed corn recipe – fresh corn flavor, sweetness, and best of all, creaminess. Serve this with any comfort food you choose: Oven Fried Chicken, Pulled Chicken Barbecue Sandwiches or Oven Fried Fish.
