    Why This Recipe Works

    My husband. He’s funny. There are really specific things he becomes obsessed with. Our spice cupboard is always perfectly arranged. The living room has to be rearranged every so often. And we always arrive at Thanksgiving dinner with multiple varieties of corn.

    For the past few years “multiple” has meant four. Yes, friends, we frequently bring FOUR types of corn to our Thanksgiving feast and this Crock Pot Creamed Corn variety is hands down my favorite of them all.

    To be clear, this isn’t mushy creamed corn. You know the corn in a can that appears mushy and a little goopy? This recipe isn’t that. So if you are concerned, remove that goopy image from your mind.

    I love my Instant Pot and you can definitely make amazing cream corn in it. But my first love is my slow cooker and the amazing recipes you can make slowly. You’ll be pleased to know that you will literally put five minutes of effort into this version of Creamy Corn.

    It is a total breeze, requiring basically no effort on your end and it is super creamy and yummy. Its method of cooking also opens up valuable oven space for other holiday dishes and you most likely already have all ingredients on hand.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Sweet Corn – Fresh corn on the cob cut off the cob is a great way to enjoy this seasonal food. Otherwise, frozen sweet corn is another option.

    Cream cheese – Add this to the dish to help make it creamy and thick to enjoy as a creamy dish.

    Butter – Salted butter is recommended to bring out the sweet corn flavor.

    How To Make Crockpot Creamed Corn

    Step 1

    Add frozen corn to the slow cooker. Add the milk, butter and cream cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, being sure to stir the mixture occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste when finished.

    Recipe Notes

    • When the cook time is complete, remove the lid and let the corn sit for 20 minutes or so.
    • If you are feeling saucy, add a diced jalapeño pepper (or two).
    • If you don’t have frozen corn on hand but do have canned corn, feel free to substitute it. A gold and white can of corn is delicious, too! Just rinse the kernels and then toss them into the pot.
    • For a creamier dish, replace the milk with heavy cream.
    • If you need to speed up the cooking process, cook on high heat for 1.5 to 2 hours.

        Hi Ellyn! I would say doubling the recipe would feed 18 people. It is SO GOOD, so tripling wouldn’t be a bad thing, either. It WILL get gobbled up!
