Jalapeno cheesy corn is meant to be served at a bbq. It’s creamy, salty, cheesy, with a little kick. It was an off chance that I added a little diced jalapeño to my creamed corn one day. We were preparing to have people over and I had a rogue jalapeño sitting in the fridge that I didn’t want to waste. It was subsequently tossed in the creamy mixture and added a ton of flavor that everyone loved.
Jalapeno Cheesy Corn
It’s made in a pot and transferred to an oven-safe baking dish. If you are bringing this delicacy to a bbq, pour into a disposable aluminum pan and minimize clean up and hassle.
After you try this cheesy corn recipe, I PROMISE you wont want to try any other version.
