Instructions
Start by melting the butter in a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped vegetables and sauté them until they’re tender and fragrant. Next, add the cream cheese and let it begin to melt, stirring gently to combine. Then, add the corn and continue stirring until the mixture is creamy and the cream cheese is fully smooth. Sprinkle in the seasonings and mix well so every bite is flavorful. Finally, pour the creamy corn mixture into a casserole dish and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until it’s hot and the edges are slightly bubbling. Serve warm!
Storage
I love how this side dish reheats! It's so easy. You may need to add a splash of milk when reheating in the microwave, but it comes back together easily and is equally delicious! I like to use these storage containers for left overs.
