Slow Cooker Creamed Corn π½π² is a simple, comforting side dish with sweet, tender corn in a creamy, buttery sauceβperfect for family dinners, holiday meals, or just cozy comfort food.
Ingredients (serves 4β6)
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned drained)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
- 2β3 tbsp butter

- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (to thicken)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of paprika or cayenne for a little kick
Slow Cooker Method
- Combine ingredients: Place corn, cream, butter, sugar, flour, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker. Stir well to coat evenly.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2β3 hours or on high for 1β1.5 hours. Stir occasionally.
- Adjust consistency: If too thick, add a little more cream or milk; if too thin, cook uncovered for 10β15 minutes to thicken.
- Finish: Taste and adjust seasoning. Optional: sprinkle with paprika or chopped parsley before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Cheesy version: Stir in Β½β1 cup shredded cheddar cheese in the last 15 minutes
- Herby version: Add fresh thyme or chives for extra flavor
- Sweet & spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika
This version keeps the corn tender but not mushy, and the cream sauce is rich but not overpowering.
I can also give a shortcut version that uses condensed cream-style corn for ultra-creamy results if you want it even easier.
