There is no better side dish than Creamed Corn…or maybe mac and cheese? Haha Anyway, throw away any of the canned stuff that you may have in your pantry. It sounds intimidating at first to make creamed corn from scratch but trust me, you won’t believe how easy it is to make this side dish. Besides, we all know that anything homemade tastes so much better right? Once you try this Creamed Corn recipe there will be no turning back. Now don’t get me wrong when I was younger I absolutely loved creamed corn. Like I wanted it every night with every meal. Yikes! Don’t judge me guys, I was young.
In the summer this recipe is perfect to make with fresh corn cut off the cob to take to a BBQ or potluck. When I don’t have access to fresh corn or just don’t have the time to cut it off the cobb frozen corn is my go-to. No need to defrost them first just drop them right in the pot.
