Everyone loves these. Great for a crowd. You can also just make a couple and save the unused bean mixture in the refrigerator for about a week.You can make one or two at a time in the toaster oven.
You can thaw the corn on the counter for a few minutes or in the refrigerator for a longer time. If there was not any ice on the corn you do not need to rinse it if it is already thawed. You could use rinsed and drained canned corn in place of the frozen corn, but the frozen corn will probably taste much fresher.
