Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to Simple Recipe Box with me, Ben Harper. Today, we're diving into a fan favorite that's sure to bring the taste of Texas Roadhouse right into your kitchen. Yes, we’re talking about their mouthwatering buttered corn. It’s creamy, it’s buttery, and absolutely delicious. So, grab your aprons, and let’s get cooking!

First things first, let’s talk ingredients. For this recipe, you’ll need:

• 1 cup of frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
• Optional: 2 cloves of minced garlic and some fresh parsley or chives for garnish

These simple ingredients come together to create a dish that’s not just tasty but also easy to prepare, making it perfect for any level of cooking experience.

Now, let’s get to the steps. First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your corn cooks evenly and gets that nice, slightly browned top.

Next, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your thawed corn kernels and sauté them until they’re tender and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial as it brings out the corn’s natural sweetness and gives it a richer flavor.

While the corn is cooking, let’s prepare the cream mixture. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring this to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly. If you’re using garlic, now’s the time to add it. This adds a nice depth of flavor that’s just irresistible.

Once your cream mixture is ready, combine it with the cooked corn in the skillet. Stir well to make sure every kernel is beautifully coated. Then, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until it’s completely melted and mixed in.

Transfer this creamy, buttery goodness into a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until everything is bubbling and the top is slightly browned. Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh, colorful finish.

And there you have it, folks—Texas Roadhouse-style buttered corn right from your own oven. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of main dishes, be it grilled steak, chicken, or even a vegetarian platter.

Remember, the key to perfect buttered corn is in the details. Use quality ingredients, don’t rush the cooking process, and make sure each kernel is well-coated with that creamy, buttery mixture.

That’s all for today’s episode. I hope you enjoy bringing a bit of Texas Roadhouse into your dining room. Thanks for tuning in, and happy cooking!
