It’s made in your slow cooker so it’s pretty much hands off, easily transportable and you can make it ahead of time then just turn the crock pot on when you are ready to let it cook. Creamed corn in the crock pot is going to blow your mind!

This crock pot creamed corn recipe is perfect for the holidays when you have last minute details to pull together if you are entertaining, but it’s also great any time of the year.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Makes a large quantity which is perfect for the holidays or any large gathering.
• Cooks in your crock pot so it frees up that stove top and oven space for other recipes like roast turkey and gravy.
• This dish is easily transportable if you are visiting friends and family. Simply grab your slow cooker and bring it with you.

Ingredients For Homemade Creamed Corn

• Frozen corn – Using frozen corn makes this recipe a breeze. Thaw in the fridge before you start cooking. You can use canned corn kernels, just drain and rinse before adding to the slow cooker. Canned corn is usually salted, so add less salt to this dish. Canned corn will also warm up quicker, so keep an eye on your slow cooker.
• Cream cheese – This gives the slow cooker creamed corn a nice thick consistency and that rich cream cheese flavor everyone loves.
• Cheddar cheese – Shred your own so it is nice and gooey.
• Butter – Adds to the richness of this dish.
• Heavy whipping cream – It wouldn’t be creamed corn without the addition of heavy cream!
• Salt and pepper – These seasonings really enhance the flavor of this dish.

Variations

• I think everything’s better with cheese, but you could also skip the cheese for a more traditional creamed corn recipe.
• Change the cheese up. I love a traditional cheddar cheese but you could use sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese. Make sure to grab the block of cheese and shred it yourself for best results.
• Add some seasoning to mix up the flavor like cajun for a kick or ranch or a classic cookout flavor.
• Add leftover cooked ham or bacon crumble to really add more savory flavor to this dish.

How To Make Crock Pot Creamed Corn

1. Combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
2. Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until warmed through and cheese is melted. Stir before serving.

Tips

Fridge: Store leftover creamed corn in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Freezer: It is possible to freeze this dish, but I don’t recommend it because the consistency of the cream and cream cheese will change when you reheat it.

Reheat covered on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot through. You may want to add a dash more heavy cream when reheating to make the dish creamy again.
