Ingredients for Homemade Creamed Corn

• Corn
• Milk
• cream cheese
• Unsalted Butter
• Sugar
• Salt and pepper

How to make creamed corn:

• First, place the sweet corn, milk, sugar, salt and paper in a medium size sauce pan or a large skillet. Now, stir everything together.

• Second, add in the cream cheese and butter. I like to cube the cream cheese and thinly slice the butter.

• Next, heat over medium high heat. While it is cooking, stirring frequently until the cream cheese and butter are fully melted. Also, make sure the corn mixture ingredients are thoroughly combined.

It is that simple. Top with fresh cracked pepper and enjoy! Our family loves this and I think you will too. It is the best.

Tips:

• If you want your sauce to be thicker for your creamed corn, make a corn starch slurry. Just combined ¼ cup water and 2 Tbsp of cornstarch into a small bowl. Stir this mixture into your cream corn and heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Easy!
• You can substitute fresh corn for canned corn. If you have an abundance of corn on the cob, feel free to use that. Just take off the cob and make this yummy recipe.
• The Frozen bags of corn can also be used. You just may need to adjust your cooking time for the frozen corn. Frozen often requires more time to cook.
• Creamed corn is frugal and doubles easily. Try making it for potlucks or holidays.
• We prefer regular cream cheese and not reduced fat cream cheese. You could also use heavy cream.
• Try adding parmesan cheese to the corn for a different taste. It is really good too.
• You can also top with some chopped bacon.
• Want a little more spice, you can add some slice jalapeño’s.

Can you make this recipe in the crockpot?

Yes! I have put this creamed corn recipe in the crockpot just for the simple fact, I can let the crock pot do all the work for me. No need to worry that everything isn’t melting or having to continually stir the ingredients.

You can cook easy creamed corn for about 2-3 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low.

Whichever you prefer, this recipe comes out perfectly and everyone will come back for more!

How to store:

Creamed corn can easily store in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container to keep the freshness of the cream corn.

How to freeze:

Do you know that you can also freeze your creamed corn? As long as you freeze it in freezer safe container than it will last up to about 6 months.
