Thank you for over 110 reports! This is a delicious side dish featuring corn. It's a new way to enjoy corn that kids will love—not just boiled corn!

Recipe background:
My child loves corn, so I usually just boil it. I wondered if I could make it into a main dish instead of just serving it boiled, and when I tried this, it was a big hit!
