Serve Creamed Corn for your Thanksgiving or Holiday Dinner

(Post modified on 11/4/23.)

A lady at our church brought this dish to a potluck dinner this past year, and I have been thinking about it ever since. It’s made in a crockpot, even though it would probably only take 15-20 minutes on the stove. But what makes it nice, especially for a holiday dinner, is you can put it in the slow cooker a few hours before serving, which frees up your hands as well as space on the stove to work on other dishes.

Sharlene recently shared her recipe with me, and I jazzed it up just a bit by adding chopped pimento, onion, and smoked paprika.

A few years ago I became hooked on smoked paprika. I love the smell and the taste of it and tend to use it in many of my recipes. It works really well in this creamed corn and adds just enough spice to give the dish a nice smoky tang.

I’ve used frozen corn for this recipe, but you could also use drained canned corn, or even a mixture of both, if you want. Below are the ingredients you’ll need to make this easy recipe.

Instructions for Making this Recipe

Ingredients for this Recipe

Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Place frozen corn in a glass bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes to thaw.

Spoon the corn into a 3-quart slow cooker that has been sprayed with baking spray.

If you don’t have a small-sized crockpot, you may use a larger one, as I have done. But I would prefer using a smaller cooker for this recipe. I may have to put one of those on my Christmas wish list! 

Add to this the heavy whipping cream, chopped pimentos that have been drained, granulated sugar, kosher salt, smoked paprika, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir this together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.

Add Pieces of Butter and Cream Cheese to the Corn

Drop in pieces of butter and softened cream cheese. Stir to mix.

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring once or twice to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom or sides of the cooker.

When Finished Cooking Stir the Corn until Creamy

When ready to serve, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until creamy. Place in a pretty serving bowl.

This recipe will serve 6-8 people. If you need to serve more, simply double or triple the recipe to suite your guests. It’s the perfect dish to make for your Thanksgiving or holiday dinner.
