Best Chipotle Creamed Corn Recipes
CREAMED CORN WITH BACON AND CHIPOTLE
I love creamed corn, but I don't like to use the term "creamed corn," because it may call to mind some slop from a can. But, come on - there's nothing like the fresh taste of sweet corn bathed in luxurious cream. Add in some spice from chipotle peppers, as well as everyone's favorite ingredient - bacon - and this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! (This is my original recipe. Also, it is perfectly delicious without the chipotle if you don't like spicy food.)

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat until the bacon is soft and much of the fat is rendered. Remove about half to 2/3 of the bacon fat, leaving about a Tablespoon. (Be strong! Resist the urge to leave in the bacon fat. You're adding butter and cheese shortly, and - trust me -the dish WILL get too greasy).
- Add onion and red bell pepper and continue to saute until vegetables are soft and bacon is slightly crisp, about 5 minutes more.
- Melt in the butter, then tumble in your corn kernels, along with the garlic and chipotle. Turn the heat to medium and saute until the corn begins to get a bit soft, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high and stir in the cream, chicken broth, sugar, and black pepper (hold off on the salt for now). Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half. Taste the mixture for texture and salt level. Cook longer if necessary, adding some more half & half if needed (As an alternative to more half & half, you can add more chicken broth, or even low-fat milk). Add a pinch of salt if necessary (Note: Be careful with the salt - keep in mind the bacon and chicken broth contain salt, and so does the parmesan you'll be adding in a moment, so you may only need to add a small amount of salt. You can always add more salt at the end, but removing it ain't so easy!).
- When the corn is cooked and sauce is clinging to the corn, remove from the heat and stir in cheese. (Note: Never boil liquids after adding cheese; the cheese's oils may separate).
- Taste and adjust salt & pepper, sugar, and/or chipotle. Serve warm, garnished with chopped chives or parsley.
CHIPOTLE CREAMED CORN
This is a recipe that I adopted after Mean Chef (IHHDRO) left the site. His original comments were, "Add a little zest to corn. So simple and tasty." My original review stated, "Thumbs up from my hubby. He loves corn, but I don't prepare it often due to the high carb content. He was in heaven with this recipe. We served it as a side to grilled turkey mignons, grilled sweet potato slices, and a simple salad. I had been lucky to find fresh corn and loved how its sweetness contrasted with the heat of the chipotle. I am sure that he will request this recipe again." We HAVE made this again and again...both with fresh corn in season, and with frozen sweet corn. My husband does love this.
