Last night, I posted on Facebook that we had "Freddie's Tacos" (recipe to come later) and Ghetto Corn. I had so many questions about what each thing was, and ended up putting the ghetto corn recipe on FB. Hence this blog idea!
I had never heard of this savory corn dish until a couple years ago, but apparently it's a Winslow staple. I got the recipe from Lorey Thomas, who I'm sure got it from someone who got it from someone......and so forth. I'm sure everyone makes it a little differently. So here goes:
Ghetto Corn
2 cans drained whole kernel corn
8 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 4 oz can green chiles or jalepenos, depending on the desired heat level
There are two ways you can make this, quick or not-quite-as-quick. I usually forget to make my sides until the main dish is almost done, so you can make this on the stovetop. Throw it all in a saucepan and let 'er rip till bubbly. Don't cook too high or the cheese will scorch (or even worse, separate). If you plan a little better than I do, you can make it the right way, in the oven. Throw it all in a 8 x 8 pan with the cream cheese chunks on top. Bake for 10 mins at 350, or until the cheese is melted and stirs easily. Stir it all up until corn and chiles are coated. Then back in the oven it goes for another 20 mins until it becomes super bubbly deliciosity. (Yes, I just made that word up.) Enjoy!
Good luck with this, Can't wait to see what kind of receipes you post.
