    This couldn't be easier and it is very tasty and falls into my definition of comfort food. I'll make it again but use less cream cheese (probbly half) and think I'll use parsley or green onion tops instead of the chives which I felt got lost in the richness of the cream cheese.

    I made this one for my husband and myself - I found it ALRIGHT but my husband loved it. I decided to make it again for a Thanksgiving dinner we were holding here in London for non-American friends and family and they loved it! No leftovers! :)

    I've been making a cream corn similar to this, but I add some parmesian cheese and a little garlic...it is so good.

    The easiest creamed corn ever, much fresher tasting since you can leave the corn a little "al dente".
    Yes, definitely you can use lower fat milk.

    Why could yo not use a 2% milk instead of whole?

    Made a delicious meal with the "Crispy Breaded Pork Cutlets" and "Saute of Peppers."

    This was pretty good and super easy. I used a drained can of corn and then also added a little cheddar cheese. My kids didn't care for it, but my husband and I liked it. It was actually even better the next day.

    I made this with modifications. I used green onions in place of chives, added yellow grits to thicken and about 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese in addition to the cream cheese. My whole family loved it! I also used corn cut off of the cob that I had left over from a bbq.
