This rich, creamy corn with a hint of sweetness might just the ultimate side dish. Not only is this creamed corn scrumptious, but it’s also easy to make since the slow cooker does all the work! Free up your stovetop and oven during the holidays by making Creamed Corn in the crockpot!
Cream corn has been a favorite side dish at our family gatherings for years. When my boys were little, they would “wolf” down a bowl of this yummy corn and beg for more. Now, here’s the real story…my sister makes the BEST creamed corn ever. I’ve tried to duplicate her recipe but somehow, it just never comes out the same. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the pressure was on and my dudes would be scanning the table for a big bowl of creamed corn. So, I had to come up with a recipe of my own. I investigated several different recipes but found them either too sweet or too soupy. Finally, after a few tries, I perfected the dish with just the right amount of sugar, seasoning, and liquid.
The big bonus for this recipe is that it’s made in the crockpot. This makes me happy for a number of reasons. One, you just full up the slow cooker with the corn and other ingredients then let it do its thing! Two, it frees up my stove
and oven
so that I have plenty of room to cook. Three, it’s an easy cleanup.
I really, really like this much loved, decadent dish. Now, mind you, I won’t be fixing this every week of the year, due to how much time I’ll have to spend in the gym working it off, but…for special occasions and for special people, I will happily put it on the menu.
