The best part of this recipe is that it is ready from start to finish in under 15 minutes. YES! I assure you that you’ll never want canned creamed corn again after making this… it’s that good!
This is DEFINITELY going to be on my table at Thanksgiving. Since my parents are living in a camper while rebuilding their home after hurricane Florence, I’ve got to make this Thanksgiving and Christmas at my home the best ever for all of us. 
This creamed corn is seasoned with sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg. I seasoned it to my personal preference, but feel free to add more seasonings to your liking once it’s finished.
Enjoy!

This recipe was amazing!! It was absolutely delicious. I have a question, it says 6 servings. Do you by chance know what the measurement for a serving is?

I love love this recipe!!
I’ve used it exactly as described. I’ve also completely replaced the corn for asparagus, and for green beans, in previous iterations. This basic recipe is great for ANY vegetable you’d want creamed.
Thanks for this!!

Delicious. Can you make this in the crock pot as well to save time preparing it at the end?

Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ve never tried this recipe in the crock pot, so I can’t say with 100% certainty. I’d love to know how it turns out if you try it!
