Southern 4-Ingredient Creamed Corn

Southern 4-Ingredient Creamed Corn
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

  • Use as a topping for baked potatoes or rice.

  • Stir into soups or chowders for extra creaminess.

Tips & Variations

  • Add a little salt – A pinch of salt (¼ tsp or to taste) balances the sweetness beautifully.

  • For a savory version – Omit the sugar and add ¼ tsp black pepper and a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika.

  • Use fresh corn – Substitute 4–5 ears of fresh corn (cut off the cob). You may need to add 2–3 tablespoons of water or milk as fresh corn is less moist than frozen.

  • Thicker sauce – Simmer for an extra 5–10 minutes to reduce further.

  • Thinner sauce – Stir in a splash of milk or cream before serving.

Storage

  • Refrigerator – Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

  • Reheat – Gently warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen if needed. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.

Enjoy this effortlessly creamy, crowd-pleasing side dish!
