What You’ll Need

• white onion
• minced garlic
• corn, drained from can
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• Lawry’s Garlic Salt

How To Make Creamed Corn

1. Place oil and butter into a large rimmed skillet or pot over medium heat. When hot, saute onion for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in corn, salt, pepper and garlic salt stirring to combine. Add cream cheese, stir until melted and creamy. Stir in Parmesan Cheese and sugar, stirring to combine. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Can I Use Fresh Or Frozen Corn?

Yes, fresh kernels cut from the cob as well as frozen corn works just fine. 6 cups of your favorite variety of corn kernels.

Can I Use Low-Fat Cream Cheese?

For this recipe, I suggest not using a reduced fat cream cheese. The regular cream cheese helps make this creamed corn ultra creamy with the right consistency.

Can I Substitute The Parmesan Cheese?

You can substitute with shredded Mozzarella, Romano or even Cheddar Cheese in place of the Parmesan Cheese if you’d like.

Tips For Making Cream Cheese Corn

1. Use full-fat cream cheese, don’t use low-fat.
2. When sautéing the onion and garlic, add diced red and green bell peppers for a more colorful creamed corn.
3. Add chicken, beef or sausage for another variety.

How To Serve

Serve creamed corn alongside your favorite protein. It’s great with chicken, beef, turkey and seafood. This creamed corn recipe is the perfect simple side dish for your Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners too.

How To Store Leftovers
