Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Chef's Knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Frying Pan
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 cup Chopped white onions
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 20 ounces Frozen corn, thawed
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. As it melts, let the delicious aroma fill your kitchen. Make sure it doesn't brown, as you want a nice, creamy base for your sauce.
- Add the chopped onions and salt to the melted butter. Sauté them for about 3 to 5 minutes until the onions become translucent. You'll notice how the onions soften and release their sweetness.
- Sprinkle in the flour and mix well. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly. This helps to eliminate the raw flour taste and creates a fragrant base that will thicken your dish.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. As you stir, you'll see the mixture start to thicken. Keep an eye on it, as it should become creamy but not too thick.
- Once thickened, add the corn and stir gently. The corn should be well distributed throughout the creamy mixture. Let it heat through for a few minutes.
- Finally, fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts into the mixture. The cheese will add a rich, gooey texture that makes this dish so special. If you like it even cheesier, feel free to add more cheese!
- Serve the Cheesy Creamed Corn straight from the stovetop, or for a special touch, transfer it to a baking dish, sprinkle some extra cheese on top, and pop it in the oven until bubbly. The choice is yours!
