This easy creamed corn recipe is perfectly rich, buttery, and uncomplicated to let the natural sweetness from the corn shine. It's the best version you'll try!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 5 cups frozen corn
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook it for a minute or so, stirring nearly constantly. 

  2. 2

    Whisk in the half-and-half, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Make sure that there's no lumps.

  3. 3

    Stir in the corn. After about 10 minutes, it should start to bubble. Once it's bubbling, turn the heat down so it's simmering gently.  

  4. 4

    Cook the corn for another 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and the corn is nice and plump. Keep an eye on it, and stir it occasionally.

  5. 5

    Add salt & pepper as needed (I'm pretty generous with the salt).
