Hatch Green Chile Creamed Corn is a simple homemade creamed corn recipe perfect for a BBQ or Southern soul food meal and Thanksgiving side. Corn is cooked with green chile peppers, milk, and butter for a simple side dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, green chiles, heavy cream, butter, sugar, salt, black pepper, and ground red pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk the milk and cornstarch together to make a slurry. Pour into the corn mixture.
Stir and bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sauce thickens, approximately 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and ground red pepper for spice. Serve warm.
Notes
To make the corn less saucy, reduce milk to 1/2 cup.You can use a thinner milk such as 2% in place of whole milk, but use less as it is thinner.This is a mild heat recipe. For a spicy dish, add hotter Hatch peppers or more ground red pepper. You can get diced Hatch green chiles online here! Pick the heat level you prefer.
