How to Make Creamy Corn in a Slow Cooker

UPDATED with a video from Mikey.

Not a fan of cream corn? Don’t let the name fool you…this Creamy Crock Pot Corn from Gooseberry Patch’s Grilling and Campfires Cooking is not your average cream corn!

I honestly have no idea how cream corn is made, but it is just not my favorite corn. When I saw this recipe, I knew it would be creamy…it has cream cheese in it…but couldn’t resist trying it…it has CREAM CHEESE in it! 😉

Michael has a real bad habit of not telling me that he doesn’t like something until I have already made it. I made up a dish one night and asked him before hand if that sounded good. Well, he didn’t tell me that he didn’t like that particular meal, so I was a bit surprised when he didn’t like it. Then he tells me that he just doesn’t like that dish period. I just shook my head and went on.

When he tried this corn and said, “Wow! This is really good! And I don’t even like cream corn!” I just shook my head again. Gotta love ’em!

The recipe said it would serve 8-10, so I cut it in half for us. However, Mommy, Daddy and Ryder LOVED this recipe. I definitely didn’t need to cut it in half! My little guy wanted more and more and more! When your toddler wants to eat his veggies, you remember that recipe!

So I’ll share with you the full amounts…you will definitely want them! 🙂

Do you need to thaw the corn or just add it to the crockpot frozen?

  I haven’t tried this recipe without the sugar. It would change the sweet/savory flavor of the recipe, but I think it could work. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Thank you for this great, easy recipe. It is officially my family’s favorite holiday side dish. I make it vegan with vegan cream cheese and vegan butter and it turned out great. Omnivores, as well as vegans, wolfed it.

This is a corn dish to die for! I’ve tried another variation that had 1/2 cup of milk in it too, but it was too soupy. So easy and tasty. If you wanted to freelance, some small, cut up pieces of green or red pepper and/or even onion would be good in it too.

  Hi Jamie!
  I don’t blame you for wanting to double the recipe! It is SOOOO good! I haven’t tried doubling it. If I did, I would use a 6-quart crock pot instead of a 4-quart and would do approximately the same cook time. As always, keep a close eye on it the first time you try it out. Enjoy!

Just as my twin sister is expected to bring a chicken/broccoli casserole to any family gathering, I am expected to bring Crock Pot Corn. I like to use one bag of yellow and one bag of shoepeg corn. All my friends & relatives, from aged 8 to 80, love this corn. I do to. I do save it for special occasions. It has become a tradition. Never any leftovers! I like to use one bag of yellow and one bag of shoepeg corn.

We thought it was pretty good, but there were several hard pieces of corn even after being cooked on low. Any solutions??

  Hi Brooke!
  I am not sure why there would be hard pieces. Did you use a brand of corn you have used before with no problems? We had great success with Kroger brand frozen corn. You might give it a try with Kroger corn if you have a Kroger, Jay-C or Ruler in your area.

Looking forward to making this for a BBQ tomorrow! I want to use fresh corn on the cob and I was thinking I could shave it and put it in raw to cook. Do you think same amount of ounces?

  Hi Christie!
  Yes, same amount of corn. You might want to add a little bit of liquid since the freezer corn would have a bit of liquid in it. Let me know how it goes! Enjoy!

Does corn get harder or softer the longer you cook it? ›

Avoid cooking corn for too long. "If you have super fresh corn — which can even be eaten raw — it's a waste of time to cook for the common recommended time of 20 [or more] minutes," says Jones.

Generally, boiling frozen corn anywhere from eight to 10 minutes is enough for the kernels to turn bright yellow and plump.
