Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika

Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat with butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is warmed through and begins to slightly brown.
