Ingredients

6 ears fresh sweet corn
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons softened cream cheese see notes
1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup cooked and chopped bacon
¼ cup sliced green onion for garnish

Instructions

Remove the husks and silks from 6 ears fresh sweet corn. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the corn and boil for 5-7 minutes. Remove the corn from the water using tongs and set it aside. Alternatively, you can grill or air-fry the corn! I have recipes and instructions for each method; pick your favorite!
In a small saucepan, add ¼ cup unsalted butter and melt over medium heat. Whisk in ½ cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese. Stir and heat over medium heat until melted.
Place the cooked corn on a large platter or in a baking dish for serving. Immediately spoon or brush the warm sauce generously over the corn.
Top the corn with ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup cooked and chopped bacon, and ¼ cup sliced green onion.

Notes
