Cheesy Corn on the Cob (Kristi H)
Cheesy Corn on the Cob
Boil corn on the cob for about 10 minutes
Right out of the hot water spread cream cheese all over the corn... as thick as you like.
Then, roll the corn in shredded mozzarella until it's covered.
Last of all, drizzle Taco Bell Mild Hot Sauce (or El Pato or your favorite) all over. It's YUMMY!
This is a Hansen family recipe. I'd never had it before I was married and Adam requested it one day. You could eat this with some grilled polish sausage or hot dogs or hamburgers... etc., but we get filled up just on the corn because we like it so much we each eat 2... even the kids (without the hot sauce).

An Awesome Cook...
We're so lucky to have Emily join us with her pie making expertise! Check out ALL of her awesome recipes at onelovelylife.com. Before I checked out her site I thought (because she's a master of pie making) that I'd find lots of complicated recipes that I'd never have time to make... but I was wrong! I want to make them all! Plus, she's got more than just recipes. Now I want to make new decorative pillows for my bed or couch or SOMEWHERE!
