HONEY BUTTER SKILLET CORN
Corn is one such ingredient which I love to use every often. Not only is Corn healthy but it makes for so many easy and hearty recipes as well.
Be it my Sweet Corn Casserole or Spicy Hot Creamed Corn with Crispy Chicken or Southern Fried Corn or Southern Creamed Corn or Easy Cheesy Corn Fritters OR
even these corn salads like Broccoli Corn Salad or Ranch Cheddar Corn or Grilled Corn Mango Salsa or Corn Empanadas or Black Bean and Corn Tacos
This simple Honey Butter Skillet Corn is a family favorite recipe. My husband especially loves Corn cooked this way.
Although for my kids I generally make Honey Butter Skillet Corn without cream cheese as they do not like cream cheese. That too is such a wonderful version of this Honey Butter Skillet Corn recipe. You can find the recipe for it below.
