Yield Makes 4 servings as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium red bell peppers, cored, seeded, deribbed and chopped
3 cups fresh corn kernels, blanched (cut from 6 medium ears corn), two 10-ounce packages frozen corn kernels, thawed, or 3 cups canned corn kernels, drained

Tips:

  • Canned Corn: If you don't have fresh or frozen corn, you can use canned corn. Be sure to drain and rinse the corn before using.
  • Cheese: Use a sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Spices: Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your liking. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cumin.
  • Serving: Serve the corn spread warm or at room temperature. It can be served with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
