Easy Cheesy Creamed Corn

OK so Bobby and I eat pretty healthy most of the time, but obviously in Winter it gets a little tougher because most nights we just want to alternate between chili and pasta. And there's fewer veggie options for sides. I'm not suggesting creamed corn as a veggie, since corn is pretty much straight starch, BUT it is a nice Winter comfort side. I got this recipe from Kraftfoods.com a few years ago and have been using it ever since, because really, if it has cream cheese it has to be delicious. Shown below with crab cakes topped with sweet chili sauce (see archive) and spinach salad.

Easy Cheesy Creamed Corn

1 can cream-style corn
1 small bag of frozen corn
2oz/2Tbs cream cheese (1/3 less fat)
1/2-1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, amount depending on preference (obviously you can guess which way we tip the scale on that one!)
Sliced green onions for garnish, if desired

In a medium saucepan melt the cream cheese over medium heat, stir frequently. Add cream-style corn, and frozen corn. Heat on med/med-high for 10 minutes, or until frozen corn is cooked through. Stir in grated cheddar cheese, and top with green onion slices for garnish.

Quick easy side and sooo good! But again, anything with cream cheese gets my seal of approval :) Just noticed that looks like an insanely large portion, but I swear that's just the angle!
