  1. Chop onion, green pepper and red/orange pepper into small pieces. 
  2. Drain corn from can 

Cook:

  3. Add in green and red/orange peppers and corn. Fry for about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally
  4. Add in cream cheese, half and half, and all the seasonings. Let it simmer until cream cheese melts. Adjust the taste to your liking.
