Crock Pot Creamed Corn
Description
This Crock Pot Creamed Corn recipe combines corn with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, melted butter, and heavy cream, slow-cooked to meld the ingredients into a creamy, cheesy dish. The salt and black pepper season the dish gently, letting the natural sweetness of corn shine alongside the richness of dairy components. Cooking on low for 3 to 4 hours ensures the cheeses melt fully and flavors develop without overcooking the corn kernels.
The slow cooker method provides a hands-off approach, perfect for preparing this side in advance or alongside a main course. It can be easily stirred before serving to evenly distribute the creamy sauce. Variations include stovetop preparation with frequent stirring and different cheese types like sharp cheddar or Parmesan.
The recipe suggests seasoning modifications such as cajun spice for a flavor variation and offers tips on storage and serving. Using freshly shredded cheeses rather than pre-shredded ensures better melting and texture.
Ingredients
- 32 oz corn thawed, frozen
- 8 oz cream cheese cubed
- 3/4 c. cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 c. butter melted
- 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions

Notes
- The recipe can also be made on the stovetop by heating all ingredients over medium-high heat and stirring frequently until melted and heated through.
- Using block cheese shredded fresh provides better melting and flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
- Variations include switching cheddar for sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese to change flavor profiles.
- Add seasonings like cajun spice to introduce a bit of heat and depth.
- Great as a side dish for dinners or potlucks, and leftovers can be reheated gently.
