How to make creamed corn

It’s probably no surprise to you that this recipe starts with corn. I use frozen corn, and you don’t even have to thaw it! Simply pour it into a slow cooker with some milk, seasonings, cream cheese and butter. Cook for a few hours and you’re ready to go! When you first take the lid off the slow cooker, the cream cheese may look a bit curdled. This is normal, all you need to do is stir the corn until the sauce comes together. If you feel like your creamed corn is too thick, you can always add a splash of milk to thin it out. If it’s too thin, simply cook, uncovered, on high for about 15 minutes or until thickened to your desired consistency. Add some bacon and chives and you’ve got an amazing side dish that doesn’t take up any space in the oven!

No one will guess that this slow cooker creamed corn is so easy to make; people will think you’ve spent hours in the kitchen! No one needs to know that this recipe only has 10 minutes of prep time, simply sit back, relax and let the compliments roll in!
