Notes

  • Look for the words ‘sweet corn’ on the can when purchasing canned corn. 
  • Frozen corn can be cooked the same way as canned corn. Frozen corn may take a few more minutes to become hot. 
  • Use chicken broth instead of water for even more flavor.
  • Season this easy canned corn recipe with salt and pepper. 
  • When cooking corn, do not allow the water to boil off. Cook corn until it is just warmed through so you don’t have chewy, overcooked corn. 
  • Drain the excess water from the corn before serving.
  • Storage - keep cooked canned corn in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
