I don’t know about you but side dishes are the bane of my supper time existence. I’m not a big fan of complicated side dishes so I usually stick with pretty much with things like corn with butter, broccoli, green beans, cabbage, and salads.
This sauté of corn, bell pepper, and onions comes together quickly with readily available ingredients. During the summer you can use garden fresh corn and peppers and in the winter you can use the pepper and onion mix from the freezer case in your grocery store with frozen whole kernel corn.

I belong to a CSA and we picked up 72 ears of corn a couple days ago. I am glad to find a recipe to use some of the corn up with!
Wow, that’s a lot of corn! I hope you like the recipe and come back to visit again soon.
I love sauteed corn and onions. I used to make it all the time when I was first married and out on my own! I bet the peppers are perfect with it
