Ingredients:

  • 2 (10 oz) packages frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup whole milk (you can use 2% milk as an alternative)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or more to taste)

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Corn Mixture:
    • In a skillet, combine the thawed corn, heavy cream, sugar, butter, salt, and black pepper.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Milk-Flour Mixture:
    • While the corn mixture is cooking, whisk together the milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Thicken the Sauce:
    • Add the milk-flour mixture to the skillet with the corn mixture.
    • Stir constantly and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the corn is fully heated through.
  4. Finish the Sauce:
    • Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until it's completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve hot, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

 

Serving Suggestions:

  • This creamed corn pairs wonderfully with comfort foods like meatloaf, barbecued dishes, hot dogs, and burgers. It’s also perfect for potlucks or holiday dinners like Thanksgiving.

 

Storage:

Allow any leftovers to cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave when ready to enjoy.

 

Tips:

  • For an even cheesier version, you can stir in more Parmesan or sprinkle extra cheese on top when serving.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh corn for frozen if desired for a more rustic touch.
