Creamed Corn 

This is so not like the creamed corn you buy in a can.  This is so much better and full of flavor!

Ingredients

6 oz. cream cheese, cubed
1/4 c. butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 c. whole milk or cream
3 c. corn fresh, frozen or canned, drained
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9-inch baking dish with cooking oil.

In a saucepan, combine cream cheese, butter, garlic, and milk.  Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is smooth. The mixture may look like it curdled, but it will become smooth and creamy as you stir.

Stir in the corn. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Mix in sugar and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the mixture into prepared baking dish.  Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until bubbly.
