Notes
- Use canned or fresh corn as an alternative to frozen, but reduce cooking time since they are pre-cooked or softer.
- Store leftover creamed corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave, stove, or oven until warmed through.
- For freezing, cook as directed, then portion into freezer bags and freeze flat; it keeps well for 6-8 months.
- Thaw frozen creamed corn in the refrigerator overnight before reheating gently on the stove.
