Mexican Corn recipe:

1/4 lb butter softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
3 (16 oz) cans white shoepeg corn
Instructions
1)Stir softened cream cheese and butter together.
2)Add remaining ingredients and mix.
3)Pour into a 2 Qt casserole and bake at 350 for 30 mins.
As far as serving size goes, I quartered the first recipe and halved the corn recipe. Here are the substitutions...I used some canned, chopped green chiles instead of whole, seeded chiles and salsa instead of picante. Also, I hate yogurt on my food...I like it alone, but leave it off my dinner! I used light sour cream instead. I knew the corn was awesome but the chicken was just terrific! I highly recommend this one!

I may make this one also. There was a couple of typos so I think I can figure it out. It looks good!
ReplyDeleteWhen I went back to re-read the recipe, the typos weren't there. Wierd.
