Optional, you can top each serving with fresh green onions.
Notes
I prefer to shred my own cheese from a block as it melts better. Medium cheddar also melts better than sharp cheddar.You can add even more flavors to this recipe to tailor-make it how you like it. While I like to add green onions, you can also add any other fresh herbs (thyme is a great one!) but you can also add chopped red pepper or jalapenos.This is a pretty easy recipe to modify for different dietary needs. For a vegetarian option, leave out the bacon or use a meat alternative. Gluten-free options can be achieved by ensuring all ingredients are gluten-free.If you have any leftovers, fear not! This creamy corn reheats beautifully. And if you want to loosen it up a little, just add a bit of heavy whipping cream or a touch of butter.
