Slow Cooker Creamed Corn topped with bacon and chives.

When most people think of creamed corn, they think of the canned version. This slow cooker creamed corn is like ten million times better than anything you’d get in a can. It’s got corn cooked in a creamy sauce, which is great on its own. But when you add bacon and chives to the mix, it really makes this dish something special. This southern creamed corn is a must-have for the holidays, and it’s so very easy to make too!

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!

    Don’t you just love crock pots? Mine certainly makes my life easier. Love that you added bacon to this dish. That’s something I wouldn’t have thought of but it would sure make a yummy addition.
