Ingredients

• 8 ears of corn, in husk
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons salted butter

Step 1: Prep the corn

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Shuck the corn. In a large, deep bowl or a low baking dish, slice the kernels off of the cobs. Then, use the dull side of the knife to scrape the cob to remove all of the kernel bits and creamy milk inside.

Editor's Tip: Place a kitchen towel under the bowl or baking dish to help to catch the kernels. Learn more tricks for how to cut corn off of the cob.

Here's What I Thought

While summertime definitely calls for fresh corn on the cob, this makes enjoying the seasonal treat so much easier! It eliminates the messy hands and need to floss that normally come with eating corn on the cob. And with the addition of heavy cream and simple seasoning, the flavor of the fresh corn is enhanced that much more. Honestly, it's truly hard to stop at just one bowl.

The Pioneer Woman's corn casserole is such an easy recipe for a weeknight dinner or a backyard barbecue alongside hot dogs, hamburgers and your favorite potato salad. It can be customized with other seasonings and toppings if you'd like. Add garlic salt or onion powder to enhance the flavor. You could even make a Mexican street corn version by topping it with fresh lime and cotija cheese.
