A creamy, comforting slow cooker creamed corn recipe that combines sweet corn, cream cheese, butter, and subtle seasoning, perfect as a hearty side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 (15.25-ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into thin slices

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the drained corn into a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in the whole milk, sugar, and black pepper until everything is well combined, ensuring the flavors start to meld.
  2. Add Cream Cheese and Butter: Without stirring, layer the thin slices of butter and the cubed cream cheese on top of the corn mixture. Cover the slow cooker with its lid to trap the heat and moisture.
  3. Cook on High: Set the slow cooker on high heat and cook for 2 to 3 hours. This allows the cream cheese and butter to melt gradually, blending into a creamy sauce with the corn.
  4. Stir and Finish Cooking: After the initial cooking time, uncover and stir the mixture thoroughly until the butter and cream cheese are completely incorporated and the dish is smooth and creamy.
  5. Final Cook Time: Cover again and continue cooking on high for an additional 15 minutes to ensure everything is heated through and perfectly creamy.
  6. Serve: Serve the creamed corn immediately as a delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.

Notes

  • For a thicker texture, cook a little longer uncovered while stirring frequently.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for whole milk for an even richer creamed corn.
  • Adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper can give a flavorful kick.
  • Make sure to drain the canned corn well to avoid excess liquid that could thin out the dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
