Description
Sweet, creamy, and buttery corn slow-cooked to perfection — an easy side dish for holidays or weeknight dinners. This crock pot creamed corn combines simple ingredients for a comforting and flavorful accompaniment that pleases all ages.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen or canned corn
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and ensure the corn is thawed if frozen or drained if canned to prevent excess liquid.
- Combine in crock pot: Add the corn, heavy cream, milk, butter, cream cheese, sugar, salt, and pepper into the crock pot. Give it a gentle stir to mix the ingredients slightly.
- Cook the mixture: Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or alternatively on high for 1 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to help the cream cheese melt evenly and prevent sticking.
- Mix before serving: Once cooked, stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Notes
- For a thicker texture, blend part of the corn before adding to the crock pot.
- Add Parmesan cheese for a cheesy variation.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the sides from burning.
- Use fresh corn in season for best flavor, adjusting cook time accordingly.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats and holiday dinners.
