We are huge fans of creamed corn in our house and you know how I love a good shortcut to a delicious dish! This crock pot creamed corn uses the ease of a slow cooker to give us old fashioned flavor with a hands off cooking method. Yes please!
You’ll need: Frozen whole kernel corn, cream cheese*, evaporated milk**, butter, and a wee bit of sugar.
You’ll also need salt and pepper to taste. *Don’t freak out over the cream cheese. This taste like creamed corn, not cheesy at all. My daughter is creamed corn’s biggest fan and does not care at all for cream cheese, but she loves this dish. **I LOVE EVAPORATED MILK, it 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 it straight from the slow cooker but you can transfer it to a pretty bowl if you like.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 28-32 ounces frozen whole kernel corn
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temp, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place corn in slow cooker. Add other ingredients over top. Cook in high for 2-3 hours or low for 3-6, stirring from time to time. 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!
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.
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!!!
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.
Can I make this in my 1 1/2 quart crock pot?
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!
I got this recipe from my sister-in-love some 30 yrs. ago and have made it on occasion ever since. However, I don’t use the evaporated milk at all—-my bunch wants it to “stick together”. It is expected to be at family dinners, so I usually use at least 5 bags (you now, those 12 oz lbs, lol) and 2 sticks of butter, and usually 2 blocks of cream cheese. I think I need to run now—this is making me hungry, and I live alone, so I’ll just have to drool.
Love this dish. My grand doesn’t like cream cheese either but loves this! Makes a great veggie for feeding crowds!
So glad it is a hit Donna!!! It’s kinda hard not to love it!
Hey Christie. Love your posts. Would I be able to use fresh corn? I have a plethora of fresh corn available at this time. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

Thanks. Sounds great.
I’m sure this is very good, but I measure all creamed corn against my Granny’s….made from sweet corn just picked, shucked, and in the pot in less than 5 minutes. I know I’ll never have it again in my life because I have no intention of growing corn in the back yard (which is concrete). So I will give this a try and enjoy every fork full.
Can I double or even triple this recipe? Would i need to adjust the cooking time? I can’t wait to make it but I have a big group to feed.
I double and triple it all the time with great success. The cooking time is still the same 🙂 I hope you enjoy it!
I make a corn dish using can whole kernel corn and canned cream style corn. I add bacon grease, butter and sugar to season, cooking in a pot. I have never tried it in a slow cooker. I am going to combine my recipe with yours and see how it goes. I have seen that some people add a store bought corn bread topping on top. I may try this also.
Can I make this a day ahead?
Yep I made it in my 1 1/2 qt crockpot. It is fantastic.
