Honey Butter Skillet Corn is a quick and irresistible side dish that combines sweet corn with rich butter, honey, and a touch of cream cheese for an ultra-creamy texture and sweet-savory flavor. Ready in just 15 minutes, this crowd-pleasing American classic is perfect for holidays, BBQs, or weeknight meals.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 side dish servings

Ingredients

Base

  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 bag (16 oz) frozen corn

Creamy Finish

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Butter & Honey: In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and honey. Stir together as the butter melts with the honey, creating a rich, golden mixture that forms the base flavor for the dish.
  2. Add the Corn: Once the butter and honey are fully melted, pour in the frozen corn. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and tender.
  3. Add Cream Cheese & Season: Place the cream cheese chunks into the pan with the corn. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, and stir everything together. Let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the corn is creamy and well coated.
  4. Serve: Serve the honey butter skillet corn immediately while it’s hot. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy as a comforting side dish.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 6 side dish servings, but can stretch to 8 smaller servings for kids.
  • Gold n’ white corn is a great choice, but any 16 oz frozen corn works well.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge and reheated gently.
  • If using unsalted butter, you may want to adjust the salt to taste.
