Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (15.25 oz each) corn, drained
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons diced pimientos

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Start by draining the liquid from the corn. Set this liquid aside for later use.
    • Dice the pimientos if they aren’t already diced.
  2. Cooking the Creamy Corn:

    • In a pan over medium-low heat, combine the drained corn and the cream cheese.
    • Stirring frequently, cook until the cream cheese is completely melted. It’s important not to let the cream cheese burn.
  3. Adjusting the Consistency:

    • If the mixture starts to seem a bit clumpy, don’t worry! Simply add some of the reserved corn juice back into the pan. This will help smooth out the texture.
  4. Adding the Pimientos:

    • Once the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy, stir in the diced pimientos. Let them heat through for a couple of minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Your Creamy Holiday Corn is now ready to be served!
    • Transfer the creamy corn to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or a few extra pimientos, if desired.
    • This dish pairs wonderfully with holiday roasts, grilled meats, or as a flavorful side to any festive meal.
