  1. I made this with canned corn because I didnt have frozen. One 15 oz can wasnt enough to balance out the flavors. So I put in a second. Its just okay. I would say next time only half a ranch packet.
  2. I thought this recipe was super rich. Good but super rich, not sure how to make it without it being so rich.

    1. You could cut the cream cheese with low-fat cottage cheese or nonfat Greek yogurt. I haven’t made this yet but that’s what I was thinking of doing
