I made two small changes--I used reduced fat cream cheese and one 4 ounce can of mild green chilies. I did not use fresh jalapenos because I was feeding two little ones and I didn't want it to be too hot for them. That said, this was a huge hit. Everyone loved this side dish. I think I could get by with cutting the butter back by half next time and it would still be just as good.
I made this last night, what a hit! We don't like really "hot" foods so i used 2 cans of green chilies and a splash of red hot sauce instead of the peppers. Other than that I followed the recipe and it was GREAT!! Thanks Karen
The ultimate test--my DAD!! He raved over this recipe. I used frozen sweet white corn (I find that it's not as crunchy and tastes much more fresh than canned, which I just refuse to make) in a heated skillet, no olive or vegetable oil, no butter. Just cooked the corn, added 3/4ths of a thing of cream cheese, and added the jalapenos. My family is from Louisiana (Cajun, baby!) so we like spicy things--I added all the jalepenos the recipe called for, and kinda wish I'd added more. I love that spicy kick to it. Anyway, was extremely unique--nothing I EVER would have thought to try, so I really enjoyed making it and serving it to my family. I will definitely give this a try again, although next time will use reduced fat cream cheese to cut out those unnecessary and unhealthy extra calories. I highly recommend giving this a shot! Thanks so much for the unique recipe!
This was very good. I only used 1/4 of the butter 1/2 of the cream cheese and 2 of the hot peppers and got very good reviews. Try it whatever variation you like. I'm a health nut so I cut the fat but not the flavor.
Very good!! I used less jalapenos and added some Rotel tomatoes. Yummy!
Comfort food indeed. So good you can eat it all week! I use half the cream cheese and for the other half use sour cream. No butter add 2 cans of Ortega green chilis sometimes throw in some leftover cooked rice and sprinkle with green onion. Really really good.
Very good did not use that many peppers though - I used less than half. The group I served it to could not get enough they loved it. Will certainly make this again maybe even tonight!
Yum I loved this dish I made it with the salsa chicken on this site by Faye and a great side salad (was out of spanish rice) BUT it went over great. It taste like a jalapeno popper.
I'm a Mexican and I've never heard of this recipe before. Skeptical but open-minded I gave it a whirl and was ever-so pleasantly surprised! Changes: I used only half the cream cheese & butter and I sauteed 3 cloves of minced garlic and added that to the recipe in order to omit powdered stuff. After reading the other reviews I opted to use only 3 (fresh minced) jalapeños for something tame enough to share with friends. So easy and fabulous! Great recipe!
I won't be making this again..Recipe looked interesting but ended up being just so-so. I will keep looking for a better and healthier Mexican corn recipe.
