what do you need
Ingredient notes
- frozen corn- Any brand is fine, but I prefer organic corn.
- butter- Unsalted is best as we add garlic salt to this dish as per taste.
- garlic salt- It adds some saltiness and a wonderfully spicy garlic flavor.
Additions and replacements
- change the seasoning- I used Lawry’s brand, but you can also use a little salt, garlic powder and a pinch of dried parsley as a substitute.
- make it vegan- If you don’t have dairy, substitute plant-based butter in this frozen corn casserole.
- Use other spices- You can make it with other spices you prefer, such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, or curry powder.
- add parmesan cheese- Melt some nutty parmesan cheese and cheese into the frozen corn for a creamier and tastier side.
How to cook frozen corn
- Add the corn and butter. Place the frozen corn together with the butter into a pot on the stove
- Heat and add seasoning. Adjust the heat to medium-high and stir until the butter starts to melt. Add the garlic salt and stir often, another two minutes. Serve hot.
Professional tip: To speed up the cooking process, rinse the frozen corn kernels in a mesh strainer under cold water to melt all the ice before adding it to the pot.
Tips for recipes
- Wash the frozen corn- Place the corn in a mesh strainer to rinse and melt any ice. This will speed up the cooking process.
- Add the seasoning after the butter- Let the butter melt and coat the corn before adding the seasoning so it has something to stick to.
- Stir often- You don’t want to scorch the corn on the bottom of the pan so stir it often as it cooks.
- Use good garlic salt- I highly recommend the Lawry’s brand of garlic salt because the taste is just so good.
Common questions
No, you can cook frozen corn straight from the freezer. If you want to speed up the cooking process, you can wash the frozen corn in a mesh strainer to melt ice on it.
To keep your frozen corn from getting mushy, be sure to only cook it for about 8 minutes over medium-high heat. That’s enough time to melt the butter and heat the corn without overcooking it and turning it mushy.
