Honey Butter Skillet Corn is an easy 15 minute side dish with frozen corn, honey, butter, and cream cheese! So creamy, sweet, and delicious
We live in the Midwest, where corn is abundant and delicious, especially mid-summer when farmers are selling it at little farm stands fresh from their fields.
It’s a quick and easy one-pan dish for weeknights (or anytime) that everyone will enjoy!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter I use salted
2 tablespoons honey
1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn
2 ounces cream cheese cut into chunks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
How To Make Honey Butter Skillet Corn
In a skillet pan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter and honey. Once melted add the frozen corn and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through.
Add cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir together and let it cook, about 3-5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately. Leftovers keep well, covered in a container, and stored in the fridge.
Notes

I love using the gold n’ white corn for this recipe but any frozen corn will work. Make sure it is the 1 lb (16 oz) bag of frozen corn.
