Copycat Green Giant Niblets Corn in Butter Sauce
By: Karen=^..^=
Apr 25, 2002
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.

2 (16 ounce) bags frozen corn (yellow "or" shoepeg white, any brand)

Oh Karen, you really came up with a winner with this recipe. It tastes just like the Green Giant Corn in Butter Sauce. I halved the recipe and it turned out perfect. YUM!!!

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
