INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE CREAMED CORN IN THE SLOW COOKER

Frozen Corn – You need 32 ounces total for this recipe. I like to use one bag of yellow corn and one bag of yellow & white corn. Use all white corn, all yellow corn, or a mix like I do. 

Butter – I use salted

Cream Cheese – I prefer the flavor and texture of full-fat cream cheese but feel free to substitute with light cream cheese. I would suggest not using fat-free cream cheese in this recipe. 

Whole Milk – The higher the fat of milk the better. Whole milk or even 2% milk is best.

Salt & Pepper

Granulated Sugar – Don’t leave this out. Creamed corn is a sweeter corn so you definitely want the sugar in there. 

TIPS FOR MAKING SLOW COOKER CREAMED CORN

• I have tried making this on HIGH heat and it does not work as well. The corn burns because of the higher heat. It’s best to cook this on LOW heat, low and slow is usually the best when it comes to using your crock pot. 
• There will be some liquid in the slow cooker insert after the cooking time. Serve with a slotted spoon so you don’t get all that extra liquid. 
• I prefer to stir the corn about 2-3 times during the cook time. This helps the corn to not burn and it prevents the corn from burning to the sides of the slow cooker.
