Cheesy Creamed Corn

Cheesy Creamed Corn has a delicious combination of buttery corn mixed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and seasonings.

This cheesy version is so much better than a store bought can of creamed corn. It is easy and quick to make, ready in just 15 minutes.

The ease and quickness of this dish made it the perfect choice to get a delicious homemade dinner on the table in just a short time and with very little effort.
