Reviews
Added chopped jalapenos for a little heat.
I made the recipe as written except for the cast iron skillet. I roasted the shucked ears of corn under my broiler first, then proceeded with the recipe. It was a huge hit at our cookout. I served extra cheese on the side and noted a lot of guests coming back to add more of the cheese. I felt the sweetness was not quite balanced so second time around I made some adjustments. Second time I made it we grilled the corn before taking it off the cob. It’s grilling season here. I increased the chili powder and added an equal amount of cumin and a little garlic salt. I also added a another handful of the cheese once it cooled down so the cheese would mix through evenly and not melt. Magnificent! Rave reviews! I can’t wait to make this again!
My family didn’t care for the cilantro in it, but I loved it 😀
Loved it. I didn’t brown the corn and it was still delicious. I added 2 more tablespoons of cheese.
Perfect side forasummer
I just roasted my corn in the oven in a cast iron skillet on Low broil and turned until all sides were done. They were so pretty, I didnt cut them off the cob, This was a BIG hit with my family.
This turned out great!
A bit sweeter than I expected , but very good! I did a chuck roast with Mexican seasonings and my husband ate it on his tortilla with the meat. I preferred mine on the side, but either way, it was good.
