Creamed Corn

For a side dish that sticks to your ribs, try Creamed Corn. We lightened this comfort side dish by "creaming" our corn with flour-thickened milk instead of cream.
How to Make It
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; swirl until butter foams. Add bell pepper and thyme; sauté 3 minutes. Add corn; sauté 2 minutes. Add milk, flour, and salt, stirring with a whisk. Cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place 1/2 cup corn mixture in a mini food processor; process until smooth. Return to pan; stir well.

Delicious!! I did add some cayeene pepper to give a little kick. Served it with the pan-fried chicken thighs which is in the same issue. Will make this again--a great and different way to serve corn.

Great side dish! We served with CL's Savory Pan-Fried Chicken with Hot Sauce (also from Jan/Feb 2014) but I can see myself making this with other dishes as well. Made as is, but may consider adding a touch of cayenne pepper depending on what I'm serving it with.
