Variations Ideas

• Fresh Corn – You can substitute fresh corn for canned corn. Often in the summer when corn on the cob is on sale, we use that and just take the corn off the cob to use.
• Frozen Corn – You can also substitute a bag of frozen corn if you prefer to use that.
• Heavy Cream – Want to make it a little more decadent, add in some heavy cream. You can replace the ½ cup of milk with heavy whipping cream and water. My guest love it as it taste amazing.
• Additions – Do you want some extra spice, stir in some jalapeño slices. Other ideas to add to this corn recipe is chopped bacon, chives or chopped green onions.
• Cheese – This creamed corn would also be delicious served with shredded cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese.

How to Make Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

• Step 1 – First, drain the cans of corn and put in the slow cooker.

• Step 2 – Add the milk, sugar, salt and pepper into the slow cooker crockpot. Stir everything together so it is well combined.

• Step 3 – Cut the butter and cream cheese into thin slices. Put this on top of everything else in the crock pot.
• Step 4 – Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. Cooking time will vary. You want the butter and cheese melted. I will open the lid once and stir everything together to prevent a crust forming.
• Step 5 – The last step is to uncover and the stir everything together. You want to make sure that you are stirring thoroughly. At first it might look at little but keep stirring as the ingredients completely combine.
• Step 6 – Now you are ready to serve. You can either place in a serving dish or leave in the slow cooker on warm if you are doing buffet style for your guest.

Recipe Tips

• Crockpot Recommendation – We made this recipe is a 4 quart crock pot. However this can easily be made in a 6 quart crock pot too.
• Cream Cheese – It is best to use regular full-fat cream cheese and not reduced fat cream cheese.
• Serving – I like to taste the creamed corn before serving. This way I can add in additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Rest Corn – It is also good to let your corn rest for a few minutes before serving. Then once you are ready to serve, give it a good stir to make sure everything is fully melted and combined. If it seems to think, you can also add in a little milk to get the consistency that you are wanting.

Can you Make Creamed Corn on the Stove Top?

Yes, you can! If you would like to make your cream corn on the stove top you can. The creamed corn still comes out so creamy and easy to make. You want to make sure that you are stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking or burning.
