Pimento Cheese Creamed Corn

Summer to many people invokes  pictures of backyard BBQs with ears of fresh roasted corn and melted butter running down your chin. As good as that sounds sometimes I prefer creamed corn especially when you bump up the flavor with Pimento Cheese. Make your own and it will be that much sweeter.

Ingredients:

 4 Cobs sweet corn

 1 cup Pimento Cheese

 1 small diced onion

 1 tbsp. butter

 salt and pepper

 1/2 tsp. onion powder

 1/2 tsp. mustard powder

 1/2 tsp. thyme

Procedure:

 1. Cut the kernel off the cobs. Process half of the kernels to creamed corn consistency. Saute the whole kernels and the diced onion in the butter over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and add the rest of the spices. Add the rest of the corn and continue to cook for 5 minutes.

 2. Remove the mixture to a bowl and add the pimento cheese and mix in. Taste and correct the seasoning. Keep warn and serve.
