Of course I use gochujang instead of sriracha. And about half mild cheddar/half mozarella.

Arleigh Elson — April 12, 2023 @ 9:45 AM Reply This has become a favourite for my family! Even my 8 year old loves it. I do now reduce the amount of Sriracha to 1tsp so it isn’t so spicy for the kids. Delicious easy side dish. Kristinaobx — February 1, 2023 @ 11:00 AM Reply like everything else on this site.

LJCM — December 1, 2022 @ 9:27 AM Reply Ok this recipe looks fantastic. I froze some corn that I bought at the height of the corn season and this east dish is perfect to use the last of it! Thank you so much for sharing it. Lorna — September 24, 2022 @ 3:16 PM Reply Wow this is good…so simple but delicious. I used some cheddar as well as mozzarella and added paprika too. So good.

Century Foods — April 19, 2022 @ 11:42 PM Reply This looks amazing. Definitely going to try making this in the upcoming weekend. Marion — March 6, 2022 @ 4:31 PM Reply I had this for dinner & must say…WOW & YUMMY! I have NEVER had corn in ANY other way but fried, creamed, & on the cobb! I LOVE it all as I only use fresh corn (I freeze as soon as it’s our farmer friends let us know). Aside from the extra milk from the cobb (I ALWAYS scrape them). OR< it COULD be that we didn't WAIT before eating, no time to "rest". NO matter, it's a KEEPER! I use a lot of your recipes, just don't always comment. We had it with sweet & sticky chicken & rice & salad. This is REALLY good AS IS! Do NOT add a THING at least until AFTER making for the FIRST time. Taste wise…it is SPOT on! I used Pink Himalayan from a grinder using the fine grinder just to see how it'd taste & it was GREAT! AGAIN…do NOT stray from the recipe the first time. Jill — March 3, 2022 @ 6:42 PM Reply This looks delicious, but so often we’re told to halve an ingredient and then the second half is forgotten. What to do with the second half of mozzarella? Add to the top before the broil? Seb — March 4, 2022 @ 7:44 AM Reply It says on number 3: sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Gord — March 2, 2022 @ 8:05 AM Reply You may want to check the definition of “shucked” ;o) E — March 14, 2022 @ 4:02 PM Reply Webster dictionary defines it as: to remove the shell or husk from… she’s using it correctly. No need to check it! Gord — March 19, 2022 @ 8:11 AM Reply After shucking you have corn on the cob. I believe she meant three cups of kernels cut from the cobs. SM — March 27, 2022 @ 6:22 AM Reply Yes, as per the definition you provided, it means to remove the shell/husk/skin of the corn. The recipe wants you to remove the kernels from the cob, which is not shucking. Joe V. — April 19, 2022 @ 7:35 AM Reply Aww shuks Donna J. Ward — May 18, 2022 @ 10:12 AM Thank you – I needed a laugh today. Karen Matthews — March 2, 2022 @ 6:09 AM Reply Can I sub something else for the mayo? Sharon Rackham — March 2, 2022 @ 4:22 PM Reply CAN YOU SUGGEST A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HT SAUCE AS I AM VERY ALLERGIC TO CHILIES AND CAPSICUM. Dale Rothenberger — March 31, 2022 @ 8:36 PM Reply As a substitute for the hot sauce, you can just leave it out-I have made this recipe before without the sriracha-it is still very good. I actually added a little more sugar and/or honey; and I have also made a version of this same dish with cream cheese instead of mozzarella. (That was actually another recipe and it was made on the stove top). Similar taste. But this recipe here is the best. FAQs References
