    Add the cream cheese and butter: Add the cubed butter and cream cheese on top of the corn mixture evenly distributed.

    Slow cook the creamed corn: Add the lid to cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or LOW for 4-5 hours.

    Add cheese: 15 minutes before the cooking time is completed, stir the cheese into the mixture until fully combined. Continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes before serving hot. Enjoy!

    Recipe Tips

    • When purchasing corn, make sure there aren't any other spices or flavors, as this could throw off the taste of the dish.
    • Ensure that the corn is well drained to keep the sauce nice and creamy.
    • The butter and cream cheese are added on top so that they don't get overcooked and ruin the texture.
    • You can use frozen corn for this recipe; just make sure to thaw it before adding it to the slow cooker.
    • If you want a thinner consistency, feel free to add more milk until it reaches your desired thickness.

    Variations

    • Add fresh herbs: If you want to add some fresh herbs, stir in chopped parsley, chives, or thyme before serving.
    • Make it spicy: For a little bit of heat, stir in a diced jalapeno or red pepper flakes to the corn mixture.
    • Add bacon: Who doesn't love bacon? Stir in some crumbled bacon before serving for a delicious savory crunch.
    • Use different cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Try subbing in Gruyere, Havarti, or even Gouda.
    • Add in beans: For a heartier dish, stir in some black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans to the corn mixture.
    • Experiment with other spices: If you want to change up the flavors, try adding smoked paprika, chili powder, or cumin to the corn mixture.

    Storage

    Storing: Cooled leftover creamed corn can be stored in an airtight container or bag in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Freezing: To freeze, place cooled leftovers in a freezer-safe container or bag and store in the freezer for up to six months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

    Reheating: Reheat on the stove over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave. You may need to add a splash of milk to thin it out as it reheats.
