Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 ounce bag frozen corn (or canned corn), drained well
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt (or plain salt)
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- Pinch garlic powder (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (or shredded Parmesan)
- Fresh cracked pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the milk and flour mixture: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the whole milk and all-purpose flour until smooth. Set aside for later use.
- Heat and season the cream base: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, add the heavy whipping cream, seasoned salt, freshly cracked pepper, granulated sugar, garlic powder (if using), and butter. Stir continuously as the butter melts to combine all ingredients smoothly.
- Add the corn and thicken the sauce: Once the butter has fully melted, stir in the drained corn. Next, pour in the milk and flour mixture while stirring constantly. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the corn is heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Incorporate the Parmesan cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir thoroughly until the cheese melts into the sauce and the mixture is evenly combined.
- Final seasoning and serving: Taste the creamed corn and adjust the seasoning with additional fresh cracked pepper and salt as needed. Serve the creamed corn hot as a delicious and comforting side dish.
