What to Make with Grilled Corn on the Cob
You can honestly enjoy buttered corn on the cob with any meal (I have even known to eat it as dessert when the corn is super sweet, lol). Here are my favorite foods to make it with though.
- Serve it with steak! There is just something so satisfying about eating steak + grilled corn, and it’s a great pairing. My favorites are to make it with this garlic butter steak and these steak bites.
- Make with pasta and pasta salad! I personally love corn on a cob along side my favorite pasta recipes, like this chicken caesar pasta salad, this shrimp pasta or with a simple and easy pasta like this lemon basil pasta. If you’re a fan of marry me chicken, you’ll also love it with this marry me chicken pasta recipe.
- Include it with other summer staples! When making from everything from burgers to kabobs to grilled chicken, I love to include it as a main side, along with cowboy candy, these homemade baked beans and one of my favorites, quick pickled carrots.
