"Copy Cat" Green Giant Niblets Corn in Butter Sauce

Recipe #26306 | 20 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 10 -12 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Karen=^..^=

I had to come up with this quick. Every Thanksgiving my mom serves Green Giant Niblets corn in butter sauce and I promised I would pick it up for her and bring it on Thanksgiving day. When I went to the store, they were sold out! I made this recipe and brought it already prepared to Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody was the wiser! I saved some money too, because I used store brand corn! This recipe makes a lot...you may want to half it.

    We thought this recipe was great Karen. I tried it on a smaller scale a couple of weeks ago and thought it tasted just like the frozen boxed variety at a fraction of the price. We're having a houseful for Thanksgiving (Canadian!) this weekend and I plan on making this part of the menu.

    Wonderful!!!. I served this to guests and they loved it. I did half the recipe. My friend asked where I had purchased the corn in the sauce. I did add a couple of green onions ..... the green color looked nice with the corn. This recipe is a keeper in this household for sure. Thank you for this great recipe
