Honey butter skillet corn is the sweet and spicy side dish you didn’t know you needed. Made with frozen corn, cream cheese, and a hint of hot sauce, it comes together in just 20 minutes for an easy, crave-worthy dish that pairs with almost anything.
Cook over medium-high heat for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is thawed, most of the liquid has evaporated, and the kernels start to brown.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the honey and cubed cream cheese. Keep stirring until fully melted and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with a drizzle of hot sauce and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Notes
Swap the honey and hot sauce for hot honey if you want more heat with fewer steps.
For extra richness, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or a handful of shredded cheese.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of milk if needed.
