Ingredients

20 ounces frozen corn
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoons pepper
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Add frozen corn, heavy cream, salt, sugar, pepper, and butter to a large pot.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the 1/2 cup milk and flour (this will help thicken the cream). Stir into the corn mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring often so the cream doesn't burn, until the mixture is thickened and the corn is cooked through. If you don't cook it until it's thickened, it will be runny (although it will still taste wonderful).
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

Notes

If you are taking the cream to a gathering, get it nice and thick before you keep it warm in a slow cooker. It can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd!

This homemade creamed corn doubles beautifully for holidays and also freezes well—many readers make a full batch, serve half, and freeze the rest for an easy side later. For a fun twist, try stirring in crumbled bacon, sautéed onions, or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning, or swap part of the cream for softened cream cheese for an extra-rich, slightly tangy version. Serve alongside turkey, meatloaf, chicken, or pork chops for a cozy, crowd-pleasing comfort meal.
