I love corn this time of year. It is so yummy and so cheap. We have it all the time because it makes the perfect side dish, and goes with just about anything. My family likes all the different corn varieties, and this Parmesan Ranch Corn is definitely a new favorite. I am also a huge fan of cheese, and any flavor of cheese, on any kind of food. So this side dish was a win-win for me and the family.

How to Make Parmesan Ranch Corn
- Cook the corn according to package.
- Pour the cooked corn into a bowl, and add the butter, stirring it in until fully melted.
- Add the Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing mix, and salt and pepper.
- Mix until well combined and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
- You can use frozen, canned, or fresh corn for this recipe. For fresh corn, we recommend cutting off the corn from the cob, but you could also butter your corn cobs, sprinkle on the ranch seasoning and parmesan mixture, and eat it off the cob.
- If you choose to make this recipe using canned corn, we highly recommend draining the corn if you used canned corn.
- You could also use the microwavable corn from the store, in the frozen steamer bags. That would also work and taste great with this recipe.
- While Parmesan cheese pairs nicely with Ranch seasoning, we understand that it’s not everyone’s favorite. If you want to try other cheeses, we recommend the following shredded varieties: Mozzarella, cheddar, pepper jack, colby jack, and Swiss.

Love this recipe but find it difficult to pin it. Pinterest requires an adjacent picture to it’s icon. which this does not have . Also I went to your website and could not find it. Help !

It says 1 tablespoon of the ranch mix. how many packets is that?
It’s about one packet.
I made this with dinner last night. My husband and I both loved it!
Do I drain the corn before adding the ingredients?
The recipe says frozen corn, which would not need to be drained.
Yeah read it…..doesn’t say canned corn
It says you can use can corn
Actually, 3 tablespoons is equal to a 1 oz packet according to the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning 8 oz canister
Awesome!!! Used dry ranch dip mix as I didn’t have the dressing. Turned out perfect!
Has anyone tried making this with ranch dressing, instead of the seasoning mix? I have bottled ranch dressing, but no seasoning. If it’s best to use the seasoning, easy enough to pick some up, but thought I’d ask! Thanks.
Don’t use dry Parm shake cheese. I had big gluey clunks all over, chopped up over n over n it doesn’t get fixed. Just continued to do the same.
We used the shredded Parmesan Cheese that is in the dairy section with all of the cheese.
