Directions
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan over medium-low heat, gently melt the cream cheese and butter together. Once smooth, stir in the milk until the mixture is creamy and bubbly. In a medium casserole dish, combine the frozen corn, chopped red bell pepper, and jalapeños. Pour the creamy mixture over the veggies and give everything a good toss to coat evenly. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, until it’s hot, bubbly, and has a nice golden top. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!

Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stove to keep the corn tender. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture.
