Celebration Corn

Happy Thanksgiving a day early, everyone! I’m sure if you’re making something for the big day tomorrow you’ve had it planned out for a while, right? Well just in case you’re supposed to bring a side dish to the family get together and still don’t know what to bring this dish is great. You can always just use it as a side dish at a regular everyday dinner, too. However, it’s really easy to make and just as easy to double, or triple, or even quadruple.

Also, you don’t have to just stick with the main veggies, you can add anything you like to it, maybe some spinach, or carrots, or green beans.

What You’ll Need…

½ Large Onion, per 2 people (Chopped)

1 Bell Pepper, per 2 people (Diced)

2-3 Large Button Mushrooms, per person (Sliced)

½ Cup Frozen Corn, per person

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder

½ Teaspoon Chili Powder

½ Teaspoon Herbes de Provence

Any other veggies you want to add.

As always, start out by chopping, slicing, and dicing your vegetables.

Add the olive oil to a medium skillet and allow the oil to heat slightly. When the oil is warm add the onions and peppers, allow them to cook until they start to soften. About 3 minutes. If you are using carrots or anything else with a longer cook time add it with the onions and peppers.

Once the first round of veggies as started to soften add the corn and mushrooms. Allow the corn to heat up and the mushrooms to sauté. If you plan on adding spinach, do so before you add the mushrooms and corn so that it has time to wilt.

When the mushrooms and corn have been cooking for about 1-2 minutes add the spices and combine. Allow the veggies to cook for one more minute and then remove from heat.

Enjoy!

For even more flavor, add in a can of your favorite baked beans and allow the beans to heat in the skillet. 

(This batch also has carrots and spinach.)
