    Meet Honey Butter Cajun Corn. She's sweet. She's spicy. And she is super easy to make!

    Next time you're looking for a simple vegetable side dish to add to a meal (such as Baked Cajun Honey Butter Salmon) or something take to a pot luck, give this recipe a try!

    Corn in a grey bowl with a wooden spoon

    The Ingredients

    • Frozen Corn
    • Cajun Honey Butter - If you have some already on hand you can use that! You would need 3 tbsp.
      • Butter- Salted or unsalted butter will work.
      • Honey
      • Cajun Seasoning
    • Water
    2 cups of corn, 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning, ⅛ cup butter, 1 tablespoon honey

    The Method

    1. Mix. Place the corn, butter, honey, cajun seasoning and water in a sauce pan and stir.
    2. Cook. Simmer over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. It is done when the corn is soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
    3. Serve!

    Leftovers

    To Store: Store leftover Cajun Corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

    To Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. For stovetop, add 2 tablespoon of water and heat over medium for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.

    Make it Your Own

    This corn is a super simple and delicious side dish. If you'd like to give it a little more "pizzazz", you could:

    • Add Peppers- Dice ½ cup of bell pepper and sauté in olive oil until softened. Resume with the recipe.
    • Add Onions and Peppers
    • Make it creamy- stir in 1-2 tablespoon of cream cheese in the last minute of cooking.
