For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet along with the onions and peppers for a subtle kick. If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry before adding it to the skillet to prevent the dish from becoming watery. Feel free to substitute other colorful vegetables, such as red bell peppers or roasted poblano peppers, for the green bell pepper to customize the dish to your liking. Serve Corn O'Brien as a delicious side dish to grilled meats, roasted poultry, or even vegetarian entrees. It also makes a great addition to breakfast scrambles or omelets. To elevate this dish, consider adding a knob of butter right before serving for added richness.
