Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure to eliminate any lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Cheese and Spices

    Once thickened, stir in the Parmesan cheese, ancho chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. 4

    Cook the Corn

    In a large skillet, add the fresh corn kernels and a splash of water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the corn is tender.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the white sauce over the cooked corn and stir to combine. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
