    Creamed corn is a classic for good reason! This time around we’re cooking it in the slow cooker and it’s so much easier.

    Why I Love This Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

    • It’s rich, decadent, and creamy! I love serving it alongside juicy roast turkey and creamy mashed potatoes.
    • It stays nice and warm for hours in the slow cooker.
    • You can cook it on slow for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. It all depends on your schedule.
    • Although I kept it simple, feel free to top it off with crispy bacon or pancetta! You can modify this recipe to your liking.

    Ingredient Notes

    Corn – I used sweet fresh corn on the cobb, but feel free to use canned corn or frozen corn for this recipe.

    Cheddar Cheese – I recommend adding some at the end to thicken it up a bit. It tastes so good especially if you’re using sweet corn. The sweet and salty combination is fantastic!

    How To Make

    1. Remove the husks from the corn and cut the kernels from the cob. Add the kernels to the slow cooker. Stir in the heavy cream and whole milk.
    2. Top off the corn with the cream cheese and butter, don’t stir. Cover and cook on high for two hours.
    3. After two hours, uncover, stir, season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
    4. Add 3/4 cups of cheddar cheese to thicken it and garnish with fresh chives if desired, and enjoy!

    Top Tips

    • I used sweet corn but if your corn isn’t sweet, add 1 tbsp of granulated sugar to sweeten it up a bit!
    • Want to add some spicy? Add fresh diced jalapenos or cayenne pepper.
    • Add your favorite cheese! Cheddar cheese, gouda cheese, or mascarpone cheese works.
    • Want to thicken it? Add 3/4 cups of cheddar cheese at the end and stir it in. That will make it super creamy and add so much flavor!
    • The cheddar cheese will thicken it a lot! If you like a very loose consistency, omit the cheddar cheese.

    Can I Make It On The Stovetop Instead?

    Yes, you don’t need a crockpot for this recipe. Add all of the ingredients to a large pot. Cook over medium-low heat stirring frequently for 20 minutes or until the corn is tender and the butter and cheese melts completely.

        I tried it with fresh garlic and it burned. There were black bitter pieces of garlic everywhere so I don’t recommend fresh garlic. Haven’t tried it with garlic powder though 🙂
