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

    Another winner Karen! I've made this recipe several times, sometimes substituting different frozen veggies but always with terrific results. This simple recipe elevates a quick side dish into something special. Thank you for sharing!

    I have to admit I made this using frozen peas and they were FANTASTIC!! They were even better left over after the sauce had time to sit longer. I am now off to try the corn. I know it is going to be great. Im going to use this sauce for all my veggies from now on.. Thank you!!

    Absolutely excellent. Great alternative to regular frozen corn. I halved the recipe and followed everything else exactly and it turned out great! Thanks!

    Perfect! I never buy Green Giant, its just too expensive. With this recipe, we won't miss out any longer! I cut the recipe into 1/4 the size and it was perfect for the two of us. I think the next pot luck, this will be what I bring. Its easy and quick and probably travels very well! Thanks!

    No Green Giant ever again at our house. I cut this back for just the two of us and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks, Karen. I'll make this often.

    Great and soooooo much cheaper than buying the actual Green Giant. My youngest daughter is the "connoisseur of corn" and she rates this 10 stars! Between the six of us last night we managed to polish off the whole pan and thats a lot of corn. Got to admit that being in the midst of "corn country" here in Illinois, and only 20 miles from a Del Monte plant where they make this type of corn, did I feel like a traitor? Heck No...this recipe is GREAT!!!

    My husband loves the Green Giant version, but with 6 in our family, it takes at least 2 packages to feed everyone. So, when I saw this recipe, I had to give it a try. It was a HIT! I halved the recipe, and still had enough gor everyone. Even my dd, who doesn't like corn unless it's on the cob, ate it without complaining! Thanks for a great recipe!
