Chef's notes
This recipe is incredibly flexible and forgiving. You can double the recipe as needed to feed a crowd. You can use frozen or canned corn, stir in some cayenne pepper for heat, and/or top with crispy, crumbled bacon and cheese.
A little bit of sugar (about 1-3 teaspoons) can add a hint of sweetness.
For added heat, a little bit of cayenne pepper can go a long way.
Diced bell peppers can add flavor, texture, and color.
