A Delicious Side Dish
Corn is truly one of my favorite foods and I can just about eat it for every meal.
We spent each summer in Tennessee on my grandparent’s farm and I bet I singlehandedly ate half of their corn out of the field.

How To Make Creamed Corn
Start by adding the butter to a saucepan on medium heat.
Next, pour the heavy cream into the pan.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper into the saucepan and stir. (It looks like a ton of pepper, but it’s only one teaspoon).
You can also add garlic salt or any other type of seasoning that you’d like.
Add the corn to the saucepan and cook until the corn is hot.
In a small bowl add the flour and the milk. Whisk the two together until most of the lumps are gone.
Pour the flour and milk mixture into the corn and stir. Cook until thick and serve.
