This creamed corn is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas dinner, Sunday dinners, potlucks, and family gatherings. I especially love making it for holidays because it can cook in the slow cooker while the oven and stovetop are busy with other dishes.

How to Make Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
Step 1: Add the frozen corn to the slow cooker and top with the cream cheese and butter.
Step 2: Add the half and half, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the corn is hot and the cream cheese and butter have melted.
Step 4: Stir well until everything is creamy and combined.
Step 5: Top with chopped parsley before serving.
Important Recipe Notes
- Cook on low when possible. It gives the corn and creamy sauce more time to heat gently. If cooking on high, check and stir it occasionally to keep the sauce from burning around the edges or on the bottom.
- Choose your milk. Heavy cream will make the corn thicker and richer, while whole milk will give you a thinner sauce.
- If using canned corn, check it around the 2-hour mark when cooking on low and adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Let it sit before serving. The cream cheese helps thicken the sauce, and the creamed corn will become thicker as it cools. For the best texture, remove the lid, stir, and let it sit uncovered for about 15 minutes.
- Adjust the flavor. Taste before serving and add more sugar if you like it sweeter. For a more savory version, add extra salt and pepper, along with a little garlic powder or cayenne pepper.
- Add your favorite toppings. Cooked bacon, sliced green onions, or chopped jalapeños are all good additions.
