Ingredients and Variations
Corn – Fresh, frozen, or canned corn works! Be sure to thaw frozen corn by first placing it in a colander, then run hot water over it. If using canned corn, be sure to rinse it thoroughly before using.
Dairy – Milk and cream cheese make up the base of this dish, but you can switch out cream cheese for sour cream, and heavy whipping cream for the milk if desired.
Variations – Sweet creamed corn is perfect on its own but some savory and spicy elements like bacon bits, jalapenos, or green chiles add a new dimension to this dish! Even a handful of shredded cheddar cheese added in Step 3 will add new flavor!
