We are huge fans of this crock pot creamed corn recipe in our house and you know how I love a good shortcut to a delicious dish! I am using the ease of a slow cooker to give us old fashioned flavor with a hands off cooking method. Yes please!
Ingredients You’ll Need for Crock Pot Creamed Corn:
- Frozen whole kernel corn
- Cream cheese*
- Evaporated milk**
- Butter
- A wee bit of sugar
-
Salt and Pepper
Why Cream Cheese and Evaporated Milk in Creamed Corn?
*Don’t worry your pretty little head about the addition of cream cheese. This tastes like creamed corn, not cheesy at all, just adds a beautiful smooth texture.
** EVAPORATED MILK adds a special richness to dishes and is perfect for this one.
- Place corn in slow cooker. Add all other ingredients, cutting up the cream cheese a bit.
- Cook on high, 2-3 hours, low, 3-6, stirring every now and then.
Y’all don’t blink because that is all there is to this recipe.
- I usually serve this creamed corn straight from the crock pot but you can transfer it to a pretty bowl if you like.
Enjoy!

Love this stuff but had not thought about it for a while. For a simple change up try adding a small can of roasted green chilies. Thanks for this special place to share a visit.
What a delicious idea, Annette! thank you!
I cant wait…. to make the Creamed corn in the slow cooker.
YUMMY IN OUR TUMMIES!!!
What size crockpot is needed for this. I have a 3 qt., is it big enough?
Oh my. You know how you see a recipe and immediately know that you couldn’t be left alone with it? This is it for me. I can’t wait to try this! 🙂
You. Are. My. People!
I do this and dice and add jalapeños and serve with Tostitos dippers. It’s amazing.
This is a favorite recipe – especially for the grandkids – at our holiday dinners. If u don’t have evaporated milk, whole milk works fine. I usually double or triple the recipe, so it takes longer. If it looks too thick at the end, add a little more milk. It looks like a lot, but once it’s hot, not as much.
What do you serve with the creamed corn? To
It’s a good side dish to go with almost any thing – ham, meat loaf, baked potatoes etc.
Christy, many thanks for the recipe! My favorite meals has speckled butter beans, creamed corn, fried okra, and sliced tomatoes. They are perfect together!
I grew up on homemade creamed corn! Mother’s was creamed. She cut it off the cob so it would be creamed. It was not sweet at all! Frozen Creamed Corn is too sweet!
I plan on making your recipe, but when I stir it, I will use my immersion blender to cream the corn. Guess I can’t use a liner, lol!
Thanks again! I can’t wait to make it.
I love creamed corn with butterbeans and fried okra, and whatever meat you choose. Fried chicken, pork chops or loin, meatloaf, and the chicken or pork can be baked. If you have 2 crockpots, like I do, you slow cook chicken or pork loin.
Thanks for the recipe, creamed corn is a favorite around here, I also use cream cheese in mine, but have never cooked it in a slow cooker, such a great idea, as I have scorched mine on the stove top before, thank you.
Blessings,
Sue
Thank YOU Sue! I hope you’re having a great week!
What size crockpot is needed for this. I have a 3 qt., is it big enough?
Sure is! I usually use a four quart and have room to spare.
I’ve made this on the stove top mainly but have used a crock pot a time or two. The are three differences in your recipe and mine:
1. No evaporated milk is used in the recipe I have (and I’ve used it since 1989 — am I revealing too much about my age? Lol)
2. I use twice as much butter
3. I don’t add the sugar (usually the frozen corn I buy is sweet enough)
Having said all that, I’m going to try your recipe exactly as is in a couple weeks when I make ribs.

Okay, the ribs had to wait, but I made the creamed corn for a church dinner. The consensus? Great creamed corn!!! I could have easily doubled or tripled the recipe in my 7-qt. Crock Pot and still brought home a nearly empty crock. Thanks for sharing a new — and easier — way to make a favorite dish.
I am so glad to hear it was a hit Kevin!!!
Could you use heavy whipping cream in place of the evaporated milk? I don’t have any canned milk in my pantry at the moment.
Heavy cream would make it even better 😀
Can I make this in my 1 1/2 quart crock pot?
I made this in my 1 1/2 quart crockpot. Wow this is delicious. no more canned creamed corn for me (cept maybe in my cornbread)
I had this at one of my mom’s family reunions. It has since become my favorite way to fix corn for a crowd or for a church lunch or dinner. I have also made it with canned corn. It is delicious no matter how you make it.
Amen! You just have to love how easy it is to fix!
