Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan set over medium-low heat, gently melt the cream cheese and butter together. Once they're smooth, stir in the milk until everything is creamy and bubbly. In a medium casserole dish, combine the frozen corn, chopped red bell pepper, and jalapeño peppers. Pour the warm cream cheese mixture over the veggies and give it a good stir to coat everything evenly. Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, until it’s bubbling and has a nice light golden color on top. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
