Total time: 20 min
Yield: 6 servings.
Ingredients: 6 green onions, chopped; 3 tablespoons butter; 1 package (16 ounces) frozen corn, thawed; 2 teaspoons cornstarch; 1/2 cup half-and-half cream; 1/4 cup water; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper; 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

I cook church dinners for 120 people, so I'm always looking for fast, inexpensive menu items. After watching a chef put this corn dish together, I prepared it at church several times. There was never any left over.

Ingredients

6 green onions, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 package (16 ounces) frozen corn, thawed
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onions in butter for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Stir in the corn; cover and cook for 4-5 minutes or until heated through.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, cream, water, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir into corn mixture. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in tomatoes.

Very easy to make and colorful. I may make again and try to leave out the tomatoes to see if that changes the flavor.

My husband and I loved this. I cut it in half because it's just the two of us and it worked well. I used regular yellow onion because it's what I had. To me it tasted very fresh and not heavy at all. Next time I may throw in some minced garlic with the onion. This one is a keeper.Update: this go-around I didn't have enough tomatoes, so I steamed some broccoli and threw it in at the end with the tomatoes. PERFECTION! This is one of my favorite sides, and it's a great way to use up leftover half-and-half.
