 Directions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or medium casserole dish.

 2. Melt Base

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together, stirring frequently until smooth.

3. Add Liquid & Seasonings

Whisk in the milk, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir until fully blended.

 4. Add Corn

Fold in the thawed corn. Stir well to coat every kernel in the creamy sauce.

 5. Assemble & Bake

Pour the creamy corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly on top.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. For a golden top, broil for an extra 2–3 minutes.
