Homemade Cream Corn

This is the yummiest recipe for cream corn, I found it on the internet and modified it so you could find the ingredients in just about anyone's kitchen.

Ingredients
10 ounces of frozen Corn Kernels
1 Cup sour cream (any type fat free or Regular)
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1 Cup of Milk (if you use Fat Free add 1 more tablespoon of flour)
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons of Butter

Directions
In a dish mix flour and milk together, add flour a little bit at a time until it's well mixed and set to the side. In a skillet over High to Med heat combine the corn and butter. Cook until the the butter has melted and corn is thawed. Then add sour cream, salt, sugar and pepper, mix well. Add in milk and flour mixture cook and stir until cream corn starts to boil. Take off heat and let it sit for 5 min to thicken.

*Leftover tip* If you have leftover pork roast, cut it up into 1 inch slices (the size of a pork chop) and line the meat in the bottom of a casserole dish. Pour the cream corn over the top of the pork and reheat in the oven at 350 until the meat is hot.

Did You Know

Did you know that there are little tricks to cooking that everyone should know? Well there is, here is just a few and if you have anymore ideas please comment:

*If you over salt a dish (like a soup) peal a potato and put the whole potato in your dish for a while, it will absorb the extra salt. Then just throw the potato away and no one will ever know.

*Want your water to boil faster? Just add salt...Also if you're boiling eggs add salt to the water it will help the shells come off easier and wont damage the egg.

*If you're cooking pasta add olive oil to the water, it will keep the water from boiling over.

*If you're putting a rub on meat, let it sit for at least a half an hour...it tastes so much better.

*Feel like a cry baby when you cut onions? Well light a candle; the fumes the onion releases will burn off from the flame on the candle before it reaches your eyes.

*Best steak marinade ever is just olive oil, salt and pepper...don't forget to let it sit for a half an hour.

*When you're making homemade lasagna, prep your pasta first. Take a casserole dish and fill it up with water. Place your pasta in the water and let it sit, then prep everything else. When you get back to your pasta it will be soft, wont stick and wont burn your fingers.
