Sweet and tender corn simmers in a rich cream sauce to make Crock Pot Creamed Corn. It is an unforgettable side dish like no other creamed corn I’ve ever tasted.

And now, because this corn has made it to my own Thanksgiving menu for several years in a row, I’m giving you the chance to add it to yours as well.

Crock Pot Creamed Corn

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it is made in the Crock-Pot. No watching, no stovetop, no oven space required, no serving dishes taking space in the refrigerator.

It takes me about two minutes to combine everything and start it cooking.

How To Make Crockpot Cream Corn

Four hours later, just stir and serve. That pretty much makes this Crockpot Cream Corn the ultimate holiday side dish. I always taste this around the three-hour mark and then have trouble staying out of it.

I think I “sampled” it the first time, just to make sure I liked it, at least ten times! It really is that good.

The first bite at the table was followed by, “oh my gosh, what is in this? Wow!”

My kids begged for more and the corn was an enormous hit all around.

While I have trouble calling this a “vegetable side dish,” I don’t have a bit of hesitation calling it delicious. This is pure indulgence and it is perfect for a holiday table!

Slow Cooker Creamed Corn tastes even better than Rudy's BBQ creamed corn!

Rudy’s Cream Corn

This recipe was originally created by my friend Amber as a copycat recipe for the creamed corn at Rudy’s BBQ. Have you ever visited that barbecue chain?

I suppose the creamed corn is one of their most popular side dishes, but while I’ve been a fan of Rudy’s for years, I’ve never tried their corn. Perhaps I was always distracted by the suitcases filled with their barbecue sauce that I was forever hauling home?

Regardless, I’m happy to have stumbled across this creamed corn recipe eventually! I’ll have to try Rudy’s Creamed Corn next time I visit to see how it compares. It’s hard for me to imagine a creamed corn tasting better than this.

Slow Cooker Creamed Corn is a hit side dish for any occasion!

Slow Cooker Recipes

If you’ve read this blog for more than five minutes, you may have gathered that I’m a big fan of slow cooker recipes.

Whether you use your crockpot overnight to wake up to Slow Cooker Oatmeal with Berries, Bananas, and Pecans for breakfast or let your CrockPot Roast Beef dinner throughout the day, these recipes just make life easier.

More slow cooker recipes you need in your life are this Simple Slow Cooker Pot Roast, CrockPot Chicken Fajitas and this Baked Potato Soup. My crock-pot has saved me on so many occasions when my oven was occupied (like busy holiday meals) and every stovetop was accounted for.

Slow cookers or crockpots are an appliance of which I have more than one. If you are an avid slow cooker user like I am, you might understand the need for more than one. So, let’s talk about my favorites:

First up is this 6-quart slow cooker that has a locking lid. These crockpots are fantastic for transporting foods. Mine has gone everywhere from church potlucks to barbecues, game nights to Thanksgiving dinner. However, fair warning, these slow cookers run crazy hot. Low is closer to a boil than a simmer, the warm setting actually simmers. So trust me when I say HIGH is high.

My everyday slow cooker is this 8-quart Crockpot. It’s my go-to appliance for cooking large roasts and big batches of chili. Fun fact: did you know that a full 4-quart cooker, actually cooks more slowly than a half-full 8-quart cooker?

For just cooking a few pounds of chicken to shred for enchiladas or other smaller recipes, this 3-quart version is perfect.

Thanksgiving has become a breeze since I have mastered how to hold all of the side dishes using these medium-sized round slow cookers.

If you aren’t a fan of the idea of keeping more than one slow cooker in the house, these CrockPockets are a game-changer when it comes to preparing and holding multiple dishes at the same time. They slide into a standard 6-quart crockpot, dividing it into two sections that are perfect for serving different side dishes or keeping taco fillings warm for parties.

To make creamed corn in the slow cooker, you just mix everything together in your crock pot and walk away. Rudy’s Creamed Corn recipe calls for heavy cream, butter and cream cheese to be added along with a large bag of frozen corn.

You add a bit of sugar, salt, and pepper and let the whole dish cook for four hours. The sweet corn flavor in this dish is spectacular. If you love ultra-rich creamy corn, you’re going to love this recipe.
