The Ultimate Beer Snack for a Dollar! Addictive Corn Cheese That Goes Perfectly with Beer
The best homemade snack for beer! Here’s how to make delicious, savory, and slightly sweet corn cheese easily at home. It’s also a popular snack for kids.
Main Ingredients- 1 can corn (drained)
- 1 portion shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Butter, a small amount
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for the dish. Drain the corn thoroughly using a sieve and have the cheese ready.
Step 2
Melt a small knob of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Cooking in a pan might seem a bit more involved, but the added buttery flavor brings a unique charm. Lightly toasting the corn can enhance its savory taste. While an air fryer is an option, using a pan is quicker and more convenient for this recipe.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the drained corn kernels to the pan and stir-fry them lightly. You want to cook them just enough to heat through. As the sweet aroma of corn starts to fill the air, spread the corn evenly across the bottom of the pan. Make sure to reduce the heat to low at this stage. Cooking corn in butter in a pan really brings out a wonderful, rich flavor.
Step 4
Keeping the heat on low, generously top the corn with your shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella). Once the cheese is added, cover the pan with a lid that fits snugly. Cook until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. And that’s it, your corn cheese is ready! If you like a touch of sweetness, you can add a tiny pinch of sugar to your preference.
Step 5
For a final touch, sprinkle some dried parsley over the finished corn cheese for a pop of color and extra flavor. While you can certainly enjoy it with various sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, or hot sauce, the classic combination of corn and cheese is simply irresistible.
Step 6
We’ve just made delicious corn cheese with incredible ease! This corn cheese is not only a fantastic beer snack but also perfect as a kid-friendly treat, as it’s not too spicy. It’s a delightful dish for the whole family to enjoy.
Step 7
The delightful stringy pull of melted cheese is what makes corn cheese so amazing! The butter adds an extra layer of richness, making this buttery corn cheese truly irresistible. When cooking in a pan, lightly browning the corn or any bits on the bottom creates a wonderfully crispy texture. This easily prepared corn cheese is truly a perfect simple dish.
