Easy, Creamy, and Packed with Flavor—Your New Favorite Corn Dish.
If you’re searching for a side dish that’s bursting with flavor and comfort, look no further than Green Chili Creamed Corn. I first tasted this at a neighbor’s house and immediately fell in love with its creamy texture and bold, savory notes. It’s a delicious upgrade to the traditional creamed corn, combining the sweetness of corn with the zesty kick of green chilis and the velvety richness of cream cheese.
What makes this dish even better is how simple it is to prepare. When I asked for the recipe, I was honestly blown away by its simplicity—just four ingredients and one dish. The secret? Start with a can of classic creamed corn, add in two cans of drained regular corn (or swap in southwest corn for extra color and seasoning, which has become my go-to), stir in a 4-ounce can of green chilis, and finish with 4 ounces of cream cheese. Mix everything together and heat until creamy and hot.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 2 cans (15 oz each) regular corn (or southwest corn for more seasoning and color), drained
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilis
- 4 oz cream cheese
Step by Step Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the creamed corn, drained corn, green chilis, and cream cheese. Stir frequently until the cream cheese is melted and everything is heated through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Alternately, you can combine everything in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm as a side dish to tacos, enchiladas, grilled chicken, or any meal where you want a creamy, flavorful corn addition.
This Green Chili Creamed Corn is not only quick to make but also delivers a punch of flavor and a luxuriously creamy texture. Whether you’re serving it at a casual weeknight dinner or a big family gathering, it’s sure to be a hit. Give it a try—and don’t be surprised if you find yourself making it again and again!
