Frequently asked questions
＋ − Can I make this dish ahead of time?
While best served fresh, you can prepare it up to 2 hours ahead and keep it warm in a slow cooker on low heat. Stir occasionally and add milk if it gets too thick.
＋ − What's the best cheese to use?
Sharp cheddar provides the best flavor, but you can experiment with Monterey Jack, Gruyère, or a blend of your favorite melting cheeses.
＋ − Can I use canned or frozen corn?
Yes, though fresh corn gives the best texture and flavor. If using frozen, thaw and drain first. Canned corn should be drained and rinsed.
＋ − How do I prevent the cheese from becoming lumpy?
Keep the heat low when adding cheese and stir constantly. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before adding, and add shredded cheese gradually.
