Skipped the canned cream corn this year and make it from scratch right in the crockpot – it’s so rich and creamy and unbelievably easy to make with just 5 ingredients!
Sorry guys but I hope you’re not getting sick of all the heavy, comfort food I’ve been posting lately. I promise, once the new year hits, it’ll be vegetable/salad galore on Damn Delicious. But until then, it’s time to bring on the stretchy pants for the holidays, starting with the ultimate creamed corn that can easily (and so effortlessly) be made right in the slow cooker!
WHY MAKE CREAM CORN IN THE SLOW COOKER?
- Frees up oven space. You can let your creamed corn do its own buttery, creamy thing without taking up any precious oven real estate.
- Dump and go. This is one of those favorited crockpot recipes where you can simply drop all your ingredients in the crockpot, cover and stir!
INGREDIENTS
Corn
We love using canned corn but thawed frozen corn can also be used in a pinch.
Milk
Whole milk is ideal here.
Sugar
For a hint of sweetness. But if sweet creamed corn is not to your liking, you can omit completely or lessen the amount of sugar to 1 teaspoon.
Cream cheese
We want to use “brick” cream cheese, not whipped. It will add all the lovely rich and creamy textures here.
Butter
For more added richness. And because it’s the holidays.
CREAMED CORN VARIATIONS
Jalapeno cream cheese
A great 1:1 swap for plain cream cheese.
Diced green chiles
For a little bit of added heat.
Chives
If you’re feeling fancy and need a bit of green for a garnish. Green onions and fresh thyme sprigs are also great options.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH CREAMED CORN
- Cranberry Orange Sauce
- Creamy Potato Gratin
- Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad
- Glazed Carrots
- Maple Glazed Ham
- Easy Thanksgiving Turkey

Yes! Creamed corn, once cooled completely, can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days, reheating in the microwave or stovetop until warmed through.
We do not recommend freezing creamed corn as it will separate when frozen.
