"Healthified" Creamed Corn

What is "Healthified"?

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Substitution

We like the bright color of the red bell pepper, but you could use green bell pepper instead. If you have fresh chives, go ahead and substitute them for the green onions that are sprinkled on top.

Did You Know?

Parmesan cheese adds a nice punch of flavor to this recipe without adding lots of fat and calories.

This is a nice change of pace from just plain corn. Satisfying side dish.

Enjoyed! My sister (who is a very picky eater) even requested this dish to be served again.

Wonderful

This dish is delicious! I love corn and this variation is so good, much better than a can of creamed corn. I will keep this in the rotation for sure.

yummy!

I made this recipe tonight and it was very good. My very picky husband couldn't get enough of it and really isn't a "corn" person.

Creme Cornatopia

I loved creamed corn since I was a litle kid, but this recipe added a whole new level of delicious. After I prepaired it I thought to myself, "this could be the motherload of all corn!" As it turns out: I was right! I loved it so much. I've made all different kinds of dishes with creamed corn, but this one is deffinately my new favorite.

yummy!

I tried this recipe tonight and it was very good. Even my very picky husband ate it up like there was no tomorrow. I am on weight watchers and continue to try to find alternative dishes that have less fat. Thank you.
