What's the reason for the rice wine vinegar? Other than that, this is very similar to how I cook squash.

[Dee]

5 cans Whole Kernal Corn; drained
2 pkgs. Philly Cream Cheese
1-2 small cans chopped Green Chilis, Jalapeno's if you like hot
1 stick butter

In large pot, melt butter and cream cheese together; stir constantly for smooth texture. Add drained corn, green chilis. Stir well to mix. Present in bowl with garnish of choice.

Green Chili strips, carrots from jalapeno juice, pickled beets, and Olives are just a few of the things I've used. This dish is good hot or cold and will suit well for buffets where food will sit at room temperature. Keeps well in the 'fridge but cream cheese may get lumpy.
