    Recipe Tips

    • When purchasing corn, make sure there isn'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.

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