This rich, creamy corn with a hint of sweetness might just the the ultimate side dish. Not only is this creamed corn scrumptious, it’s easy to make since the slow cooker does all the work!
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’s just never comes out with 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
I really, really like this much loved, decedent 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.
Rich, creamy corn with a hint of sweetness cooked in the crock pot for the ultimate in decadent side dish.

When ever I make one of your recipes I get rave reviews and this one did not disappoint. I took this for the Staff Winter luncheon at my child’s school. Several people asked for the recipe and the crock pot was cleaned out. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! You have made my day, Shannon. I am so glad this recipe made you “look good” at the luncheon. Thank you so much for sharing your success and my recipe!
Have a wonderful Christmas with your precious family.

Made this for Thanksgiving, everyone loved it, and one daughter commented that although it was the newcomer to our dinner menu, it was the front runner! Mom (me!) was truly thankful to have found this easy, delicious and “low maintenance” new-to-us recipe. Now it’s Christmas Day, and I’m about to stir up the next batch. Since this is a rich dish, I asked (athlete) daughters “Is it too soon to have this again for Christmas?” The answer was “can’t be soon enough!! Thanks and Merry Christmas!!
This is great, Karen! I love your story, thank you for sharing. I’m sending you love and prayers for a great new year. Keep cooking, Mama!

Donya, I am preparing for a family reunion and like your recipe for creamed corn using crock pot. I will be feeding 20 adults. Will one recipe be enough? With 2 bags of frozen corn, it looks like it will feed a crowd, I’ll appreciate your reply. Thanks for a great recipe blog!
Hey Laura! Wow, I’m honored to have one of my dishes at your reunion. I think you should double the recipe since you are having 20 folks. Thankfully, it’s a recipe that doubles beautifully so you should be good to go. Please let me know how the party goes and how they liked the recipe.
