You can do all of this in a microwave-safe bowl in 90 seconds flat. Seriously. Mix the corn, milk, butter, and a tablespoon of cornstarch in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then another 30 seconds, stir, then 30 more seconds until thick.
It’s not as elegant as the stovetop version, but it’s perfect for when you’re hangry and the dog is begging for your casserole. Don’t judge me—I said it was a cheater’s version, and I stand by it.
