Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings

6 ears corn
1 stick butter, softened
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 packet creamy cheese sauce mix (or powdered cheese packet from boxed macaroni and cheese)


Preheat outdoor grill or preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Shuck corn. If desired, leave husks attached to cob to use as holders.

In a small bowl, combine softened butter, chili powder, and cheese sauce mix or powdered cheese packet.

Spread butter on corn and wrap each ear individually in foil.

Place on grill and close lid or place in the oven. Cook 25 to 30 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until corn is tender. Remove foil and serve.

Answer 3

Butter the corn cob, wrap it in foil, put it in the top part of the grill for 3 minutes or so, or until the foil is brown. If done properly, the corn will taste a little sweet. I like it when the corn is slightly charred.

You have to watch it carefully, though.

Answer 4

Leave it in the husk. Don't soak it. Put it on the grill. Turn now and then and peel the outer layers of the husk as they char. Roasting it that way brings out so much of the corn's flavor that it's almost an insult to the corn to add anything to it.

Answer 5

Butter the corn and add 1 ice cube or a little water and then wrap it foil. The water helps steam it & keep it from burning or scorching. You can do 3 or 4 ears together if you want.
We cook our corn this way all the time and it tastes GREAT!!

Answer 6

leaving the husk is awsome. you get the bbq flavor in it. warning: comes off VERY hot and you need to take the husk off. What I do is get a few paper towels to wrap the base in. It helps!

Answer 7

Barbecue (also barbeque, abbreviated BBQ or diminuted chiefly in Australia to barbie) is a method and apparatus for cooking food, often meat, with the heat and hot gases of a fire, smoking wood, or hot coals of charcoal and may include application of a vinegar or tomato-based sauce to the meat, that was invented in ancient Greece. The term as a noun can refer to foods cooked by this method, to the cooker itself, or to a party that includes such food. The term is also used as a verb for the act of cooking food in this manner. Barbecue is usually cooked in an outdoor environment heated by the smoke of wood or charcoal, or with propane and similar gases. Restaurant barbecue may be cooked in large brick or metal ovens specially designed for that purpose.

Barbecue has numerous regional variations in many parts of the world. Notably, in the South and Midwest of the U.S., practitioners consider barbecue to include only relatively indirect methods of cooking, with the more direct high-heat methods to be called grilling.

For those who distinguish between the terms, grilling is almost always a fast process over high heat and barbecue is almost always a slow process using indirect heat and/or hot smoke. For example, in a typical home grill, grilled foods are cooked on a grate directly over hot charcoal; while in barbecuing, the coals are dispersed to the sides or at significant distance from the grate. Alternately, an apparatus called a smoker with a separate fire box may be used. Hot smoke is drawn past the meat by convection for very slow cooking. This is essentially how barbecue is cooked in most genuine "barbecue" restaurants, but nevertheless many consider this to be a distinct cooking process called smoking.

The slower methods of cooking break down the collagen in meat and tenderize tougher cuts for easier eating.
