Creamed Corn

This silky Crock Pot Creamed Corn Recipe is a wonderful side dish for holiday meals. It’s comforting, with a grainy-sweet flavor and creamy texture.

Speaking of holiday meals, when taking on a big holiday feast, you’ve got to do a little (a lotta) planning ahead.

It’s important to figure out your cookware, oven space, and timing beforehand so you don’t find yourself in a pinch at the last minute.

I like to make the most of my crock pots around the holidays. There are a few dishes I can start really early in the day, that don’t need to use up my stovetop or oven space. This recipe is one of those recipes!

What Makes This Creamed Corn (Crock Pot) Recipe The Best?

My secret ingredients that make thisCreamed Corn better than everare cream cheese and cornmeal. Adding these two ingredients together provides a luxurious, yet rustic, texture and thick consistency.

There’s also a bit of paprika snuck in there that gives this creamed corn some depth in flavor.

Best of all, it is a crock pot/slow cooker recipe SO in other words, it’s easy as pie.

If pie is hard for you then let’s say it’s a piece of cake… Creamy corn cake…. And what is easy is also the best. Right? Right.

How Do I Make Sure My Creamed Corn Is The Right Texture?

It’s important to smash the corn with apotato mashera little about an hour before you are ready to serve the Slow Cooker Creamed Corn to give it the perfect homespuntexture.

Your mashing skills will determine the texture you get, but it shouldn’t vary much. Just mash away and stop when you are happy with the consistency.

Most slow cookers’ High settings are between 200-250 degrees F. It’s a worry-free recipe, so just set it and forget it.

Don’t worry! I also have stovetop directions in the recipe card below. It is just as delicious and easy.

Can I Make This Creamed Corn Recipe Vegan?

Yes! Creamed corn is naturally a vegetarian side dish, but you can make this a vegan recipe as well by subbing in your favorite plant-based butter, cream cheese, and milk.

If you are going to use a nut milk, I recommend one with the most mild flavor, like almond or cashew milk.

And side note: Yes, creamed corn is a gluten-free dish, too!

Will Creamed Corn Freeze Well?

Because of the dairy, I would not recommend freezing creamed corn.

You can keep cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
