Opies BBQ Spicy Corn

Ingredients

2 8 oz blocks of cream cheese (cut into 8 pieces)
1 stick of butter (cubed)
4 15 oz. canned corn (drained)
1½ tsp coarse salt
1½ tsp black pepper
¾ tsp cayenne
1 4 oz can diced jalapenos (drained) **must be canned in water and NOT vinegar**
2 7 oz cans of green chilis
1½ cups milk (we used whole milk)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the cubed butter in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Put the cream cheese on top of the butter.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the butter is melted and the cream cheese has softened.
Add the corn, salt, black pepper, and cayenne and mix until well combined.
Next, add the jalapenos and green chilis and mix.
Add the milk and stir until well combined. The mixture will be liquidy but will thicken during baking.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
