This will ruin you for any other corn dish - you'll always want to make this
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is by far the BEST corn dish I have ever eaten. I'm a bigger fan of this dish, than I am of fresh roasted corn on the... cob. My husband and I first had this dish, when we went over to my parents for dinner, I had 2 helpings it was that good and I've been requesting it ever since. He does it a bit differently though - he uses just red pepper no green and he omits the jalapeno. Then instead of Emeril's essence, he uses Chef Pauls Vegetable Magic to taste. Then he adds 1 cup of chicken broth, to cook the corn in and make it tender putting the lid on for a few to steam/simmer the corn until tender. Then once the corn is tender, he adds the heavy cream. You won't be disappointed after making this dish. Read more

Awesome Corn Side Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried this dish just for something "different". It was the hit of the dinner party. The leftovers were as good the next... day. Cooked it for the "Christmas Luncheon" at school and had to give them the recipe. I made it without peppers since my husband does not like them. Still rerrific. Now I'm cooking it for dinner at my newly married daughter's FIRST Christmas Day dinner. WOW!Read more

Very Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Ate this at a restruant and fell in love and was glad to see Emeril cook it on his show and have used it several times and it... always is the hit of the party. I leave off the peppers and green peppers and add yellow peppers to the red and use a sweey onion instead of yellow. Finally, I use garlic when I saute the veggies.Read more

Loved this dish but I added 8 cloves of garlic and one jalapeno instead of the 1 tablespoon.

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This has been a staple at our Thanksgiving meal since its first debut. Everyone loved it and its fun to have something a... little more exciting than green bean casserole.Read more
