You will never go back to the canned version of creamed corn after making this quick and easy, absolutely delicious from scratch recipe. Skip the canned versions and make this Creamed Corn! Even people who claim not to like creamed corn (that would be me), love this recipe.
I grew up on the canned stuff. I have never been a fan unless I am using it to make corn casserole (so good, check it out). Then one holiday I tried Skillet Cream Corn, submitted on food.com by KittenCal (@kittencalrecipezazz), so darn good. I can eat a whole pan. A must-try recipe!
Tips for Making Homemade Creamed Corn
- You can use frozen or canned corn. When using frozen, make sure corn is thawed.
- If you are serving a crowd (more than 4 people), you will want to double the recipe.

- For less sweet, you can reduce the sugar or leave it out.
