MEXICORN
This is a nice way to use up corn from your freezer, I had 6 frozen ears from last years crop that I used for this dish. I used hot banana peppers, as i had then in my garden but any kind of hot pepper would do. You could also add some heavy cream at the end but i chose not to this time.Best cooked in a cast iron skillet.
