Cheesy Slow Cooked Corn for #ImprovCookingChallenge


For September's #ImprovCookingChallenge we were given the ingredients of Corn and Cheese to combine in a recipe. As usual, the options were endless but I happened to have some sliced american cheese in my refrigerator (which pretty much never happens, but I'd had a gooey grilled cheese craving and wanted the plastic wrapped stuff for it!) so when I stumbled across this recipe I thought it was the perfect recipe to test out.

This is a sticky, cheesy, gooey side dish with a small ingredient list and is almost completely hands off. I LOVE recipes like this! Set it, forget it, stir it a time or two and while your main protein is cooking you're not managing a second item on the stove or in the oven - it's just doing it's thing off to the side. You can certainly opt for Velveeta, or non "plastic" cheese (as I like to call Velveeta and american cheese slices) if you'd like - I'll have to give that a try later and see how that works. The american cheese definitely adds to the sticky and velvety texture of this dish; the sauce clings perfectly to the tender veggies.
