Step 1
Combine cornmeal, milk, corn, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a large skillet. Stir until smooth.
Step 2
Heat over medium, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. The mixture will thicken, ~6 minutes.
Step 3
When it pulls away from the skillet sides and looks like thick porridge, lower heat to medium-low.
Step 4
Cook, stirring often to prevent sticking, until surface bubbles gently, ~4 minutes.
