Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute half and half cream for heavy whipping cream.

    Was a nice side to the curry meat pie(recipe in this book). Family really liked it. A repeat.

    Very good, although quite rich. Next time I'd only use 1/2 cup cream and/or use half-and-half. I omitted the red pepper flakes (son doesn't like them) and used more black pepper.

    Delicious! We don't like green bell pepper so subbed in red. Outstanding!

    Rich and delicious. I used frozen corn and orange bell pepper, but I'm looking forward to making this again this summer with local fresh corn and peppers. I substituted milk for 1/4 cup of the heavy cream and it was still deliciously decadent (for a vegetable dish!). My husband is not a huge fan of onion-y flavors and found the onion + scallion to be stronger than he prefers, so I'll make a simpler version of creamed corn for him in the future and keep this one all to myself.

    Absolutely delicious. Made it as written. (Sugar not necessary.) Can use frozen corn. Watch spice level. No need for heavy cream, half and half is plenty creamy.

    Really good side dish recipe. Looking forward to cooking again before the end of corn season.

    I thought this was fine, but it didn't knock my socks off.

  • bernalgirl on September 01, 2020

    Excellent as written, lends itself to variation, added tiny diced zucchini

  • southerncooker on August 17, 2020

    I didnt have bell peppers but had some Shishito Peppers and we had been eating them and were really mild. I have heard that every once in a while you'll get a spicy one. Hubby said too hot for him. Daughter said pretty spicy but eating with cornbread made it ok. Son and I didn't think that spicy.

    I was a bit skeptical about this recipe but kept reading rave reviews and they were correct; this is delicious! Everyone in my family liked this and we fought over the last few spoonfuls.

  • Foodycat on July 28, 2020

    I used only 2 ears of corn but kept the rest the same for a side dish for 2 people. It was so delicious! My husband, who doesn't particularly like corn, thought it was wonderful and will happily eat it for the rest of the summer.
