Why you'll love this recipe
I love this hot Honey Butter Skillet Corn recipe because it can be made for any occasion. It's fancy enough for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's also quick and simple enough to make for a weeknight side dish!
It's rich, creamy, and delicious- you'll want to make it again and again!
Ingredients
All you need for this honey butter skillet corn recipe are 6 simple and easy-to-find ingredients:
- Frozen corn kernels
- Honey
- Butter
- Cream cheese
- Salt and pepper
Step-by-step instructions
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter and honey over medium-high heat. Add the frozen corn kernels and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Add the cream cheese chunks, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Once the cream cheese has melted into the honey butter sauce, serve immediately!
Tips & tricks
Use canned corn. Swap out the 16-ounce bag of frozen corn kernels with 2 15-ounce cans of drained sweet corn. Reduce the cooking time in Step 1 to 5 to 6 minutes.
Use salted or unsalted butter. For this recipe, I usually use unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, you may need to adjust the salt as needed.
Recommended tools
- 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet. My cast irons are definitely one of my favorite ways to cook food! You can make pizza, breadsticks, and even desserts! Needless to say, it's one of my most used pans (especially the 12-inch).
Storing
I love having leftovers (it's so good why not have it twice!?) and this recipe stores so well! I usually end up doubling this recipe to enjoy it again the next day.
Store any leftovers (if you have any!) in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days.
Leftover ideas
You'll only need two ounces of cream cheese for this honey butter corn recipe. One block is 8 ounces so you could use the leftover 6 ounces to make Baked Jalapeno Poppers.
Reheating
My favorite way to reheat this recipe is in the microwave (in a microwave-safe container, of course!). Honey Skillet Corn can also be reheated on the stove using a small saucepan- adding a splash of milk if needed.
