This Southwest Creamed Corn is made with white corn, sauteed with jalapenos and onions, and cooked with heavy cream and pepper jack cheese. The perfect creamed corn recipe with so much flavor!
Cook corn according to package intructions. Drain off any extra liquid.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Once butter is melted, add onions and jalapeno and cook until softened, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in flour to make a paste. Add corn and stir together. Add heavy cream, sugar, and salt (start off with 1 teaspoon add more to taste). Place back on the heat on medium-low and cook until it starts to thicken, about 12-15 minutes. May want to reduce to low heat.
Add the cheese a small amount at a time and allow it to melt before adding more cheese. Taste for seasonings. Drizzle with hot honey and serve warm.
Notes
What type of corn should I use in Creamed Corn?
I would suggest using frozen corn or fresh corn from the cob. Frozen corn is frozen as soon as it is at peak freshness so I love using it. I buy frozen white corn from Costco. I would suggest cooking the frozen corn before you add it to the cream mixture so you can drain off any extra liquid.You can also use fresh corn on the cob. What is HOT HONEY?Hot Honey is a spiced chili honey. It is honey infused with chili peppers for a little kick. It adds some sweet and spice.
