Slow Cooker Creamed Corn is perfect all year round. I enjoy the recipe as often as I can, and I always appreciate not having to remember to check the oven/skillet/microwave/any other cooking device because all the magic in this creamed corn is in the slow cooker.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 pounds frozen sweet yellow corn , (I use either Trader Joes Super Sweet or Whole Foods Organic Frozen Corn)
  • 1/2 cup milk , (anything but non-fat)
  • 4 tbsp butter , salted or unsalted (if you use salted skip the Kosher salt below)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese , (anything but nonfat)
  • 1 tbsp sugar*
  • parsley , chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the frozen sweet yellow corn, milk, butter, and sugar with the cream cheese on top.
  • Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2.
  • Take the lid off and stir, then let cook and additional 15-20 minutes with the lid off.
  • Stir again, the mixture should be thicker than before you took the lid off.
  • Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
  • Check for flavor, you can additionally add salt or pepper if needed, but remember creamed corn isn’t necessarily meant to be particularly salty like a corn on the cob could be.

Notes

* If you use a normal frozen corn (ie, not a super sweet one), you can add sugar. If you are using corn labeled as “sweet,” I would not add additional sugar.

About This Recipe

The best thing about this Creamed Corn is that it makes the perfect BASIC recipe for your arsenal, but you can totally mix things up and have it taste completely different, too! Check out all the flavor options in the post or get creative and come up with your own.

What to Pair With

Corn is a classic side dish that pairs well with so many meals. For a summer BBQ, try serving with Easy Grilled Chicken or Baked BBQ Chicken Wings. This dish also goes well with other sides like Easy Mashed Potatoes and Stovetop Green Bean Casserole for the perfect holiday meal.

Ideas to Serve

  • Summer: Skip the oven and let the slow cooker do all the work while you focus on the grill. This corn pairs perfectly with BBQ favorites and is a great way to use fresh summer corn!
  • Holidays: This crockpot corn is a holiday lifesaver, freeing up valuable stovetop and oven space. It’s always a crowd favorite, so making extra is highly recommended!
  • Potlucks & Parties: Add everything to the slow cooker before you leave, then serve it hot and fresh with no reheating needed.

Variations

  • Spice it up! Bring out some Latin flair and add some diced jalapenos, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder to the mix! It would be perfect alongside some carne asada skirt steak!
  • Go, New England with it! Add some diced bell peppers, a bit of Old Bay seasoning, and enjoy with your favorite seafood dish!
  • Steakhouse Style! Add some amazing fresh cracked black pepper to the base recipe and garnish with some chopped chives.
  • Making Short Ribs, or anything else you would pair with creamy cheesy grits? Instead of a whole pack of cream cheese, add half, then add the sharpest cheddar cheese you love, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, sharp cheddar corn.

  3. Best recipe ever! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed. Thank you! We have plenty for dinner tomorrow too! I definitely want to make this again soon.

  4. This was my first time making creamed corn. I tried it many many years ago from a can, and I hated what had been done to my beloved whole kernel corn. I made this recipe for Thanksgiving potluck at my job and it was a hit. A few co-workers even asked for the recipe for their own Thanksgiving dinners. I used 2% lactose free milk. I was afraid that the cream cheese would come back to haunt me, but it didn’t. I think I’ll spice it up for Christmas since my family likes to barbecue for Christmas.

  5. The recipe sounds delicious. I was wondering if I could make a big batch in the summer when fresh corn is plentiful and can it for the winter months

  12. We used to visit our family in Pennsylvania and purchase fresh corn off the side of the road in the summertime. While I won’t find farmers selling their corn on the side of the road in Texas, I’ve still gotta try this. How could I not? Creamed corn is one of my all-time favorite dishes year-round, but I’ve never made it at home.
