Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 (15.25 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 10 jalapeno peppers, chopped (adjust to taste for spiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Drain the cans of whole kernel corn thoroughly. Chop the jalapeno peppers finely to ensure the spice is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
  2. Melt Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and well blended. This will form the creamy base of the dish.
  3. Cook Corn and Jalapenos: Add the drained whole kernel corn and chopped jalapeno peppers to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Season and Simmer: Sprinkle in the garlic salt and stir the mixture thoroughly. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld together.
  5. Serve Warm: Once cooked, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish to complement Mexican or Tex-Mex meals.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers according to your spice tolerance; you can deseed them to reduce heat.
  • For a creamier texture, you may add a splash of milk or heavy cream when melting the cream cheese and butter.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, or as a standalone appetizer.
  • Use fresh jalapenos if possible for optimal flavor; canned or pickled jalapenos will alter the texture and heat level.
