No Cream of Anything out of a can. Ideally I’d char the corn at some point…ideas? Please and thank you.


ETA: What I made:



I couldn’t decide on a corn dish.

If I can find some queso fresco I could make a street corn casserole out of some charred cobs.

Corn Casserole (has cream corn but is not creamy), they also have Mexican and jalapeno corn casserole on the same site.

Cheesy Corn Spoonbread.

This was a side dish in my blue apron meal a few weeks ago and said that I was 100% making it for thanksgiving. It was amazing.

2 Ears of Corn (I'm sure you can replace with frozen corn. I would think roasting the corn would be good too.)
2oz Cheese Curds
2oz White Cheddar Cheese
1/4c Sour Cream
1/2c Cornbread Mix
1/4c Water
1/3c Cooked Mirepoix Mix

In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, sour cream, mirepoix, and water.

Stir in chopped cheese curds and corn kernels from the ears.


Transfer to medium baking dish and spread even. Top with grated white cheddar cheese.

Bake 17-19 mins at 450.

This made a serving for 2-3 people. I would suggest double or triple the amount for Thanksgiving.

PS I hate cornbread and this was amazing.

Emeril Kicked Up Corn Maque Choux

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups corn (about 6 ears)
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped red or green bell peppers
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
2 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream

Melt the butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn, onions, bell peppers, jalapeno, Essence, and salt, and cook, stirring, until soft, for 10 minutes. Add the cream and cook for 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and serve hot.

I agree that maque choux is a great idea. You could char the corn for it if you wish.

What about Zea's roasted corn grits? Love those.

Maque Choux is a great idea. I make one like this, but add some garlic and thyme. Will also sometimes add some diced bacon or ham, a diced Roma tomato, and/or some diced celery.

The Paula Deen corn casserole recipe is really good, but it does used some canned creamed corn.

Make this every year. Sometimes add diced jalapeños for a little extra kick.

Ooh. That maque choux gives me an experiment to try. Add a bit of queso fresco or maybe whipped cream cheese as a binder. Chill, form into balls, batter and deep fry, corn nugget style.

Excellent choice. I’ve done this several times and added Tasso cut into small pieces.

Which recipe do you use. There seems to be some differences between the various ones online

I really wanted to make street corn fritters or the Emeril’s recipe…but I couldn’t figure out a way to keep the fritters fresh, nor was I sure what the cup of heavy cream would do over the 4 hours it has to sit up.

I suck. But thanks for all of the ideas. I will absolutely cook both of these dishes over the holidays.
