If you are hosting the holidays and running out of kitchen space this delicious Crock Pot Creamed Corn is the perfect solution! This creamy side dish is super easy and I love that it’s cooked in my slow cooker and doesn’t take up any oven space. Plus, it has a secret ingredient. Cheese! Everything is always better with cheese. I’m always asked to bring this easy, classic creamed corn to the holidays.
Do you have a go-to side dish that you become known for? This Crock Pot Creamed Cheese recipe is mine. I started making it right after we got married and since then it’s always requested during the holidays!
It’s good all the good stuff like whipping cream and cheese. Plus, it’s made in your slow cooker so it’s pretty much hands off, easily transportable and you can make it ahead of time and just turn the crock pot on and let it cook.
That is perfect for the holidays when you have last minute details to pull together if you are entertaining, or if you need to go to church and won’t be home and just because you like easy and simple.
Why this recipe works:
- Makes a large quantity which is perfect for the holidays.
- Cooks in your crock pot so it frees up that stove top and oven space for other recipes like roast turkey and gravy!
- Easily transportable if you are visiting friends and family. Simply grab your slow cooker and bring it with.
But, wait you don’t just need to save this for the holidays!
We actually like to enjoy this creamed corn whenever we are having people over or when we are having a “nice dinner” ?
The nice thing about this creamed corn recipe it’s perfect all year long! Winter… with Instant Pot Ribs you bet! Grilling up some pork chops and THIS is the perfect side dish!
No slow cooker? You should try my stovetop creamed corn! It’s just as delicious and easy to make.
Only 6 Ingredients Needed
- Frozen corn
- Cream cheese
- Cheddar cheese
- Butter
- Heavy whipping cream
- Salt and pepper
2 Steps to Prepare
- Combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low 3-4 hours or until warmed through and cheese is melted. Stir before serving.
Variation Ideas
- 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.
Stovetop Directions
This is stovetop friendly too if you’d like to use that method to prepare it.
Combine all ingredients in a large saucep
an. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter and cream cheese have melted, making sure to stir it frequently.
Once it’s heated through serve.

Thanks Kayla! I’m happy to hear it’s became a tradition for you!

I’ve made this numerous times for potlucks and everyone always raves about it. I never go home with leftovers. I have substituted 1 bag of the corn with diced peppers in it and that works nice too.
