Creamed Corn

How to make homemade southern creamed corn completely from scratch!

Sweet creamed corn is a classic holiday side dish

Creamed corn takes me y’all! Like seriously! Whenever my mom would ask me which vegetable she should make for dinner I always answered ” CREAMED CORN!”. I don’t even know why she bothered to ask!  It had to be a trick question. I swear, whenever she made creamed corn it was always so buttery, and sweet. It was pure perfection. My mom would always serve it with rice, and I’d always eat that first, and run back for seconds!

This classic creamed corn recipe will be a new side dish staple on your holiday table

These days, not a lot has changed! I still love creamed corn! I especially love it during the holidays, because I fool myself into believing that I can eat as much as I want to! LOL. Follow my recipe below, and you will have an amazing side dish. Feel free to double the recipe, because this southern creamed corn will go fast!

    Can frozen kernel corn be used for this recipe so it can be made year round?
