Corn Recipe

This Thanksgiving Corn Recipe is so easy and super delicious! With both stove top and slow cooker options, this is a great side dish for the holidays!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am so excited! I’ve shared lots of my favorite Thanksgiving sides before, like make-ahead mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and green beans with cream cheese, but this corn recipe might be my favorite!

It is such an easy and versatile recipe. Want to cook it fast on the stove top or leave it in slow cooker? Want to use canned or frozen corn?

What you have on hand we can find a way to use ad that’s what I love about this recipe!

This recipe will taste the same regardless of how you cook it. If you need it ASAP, cook on the stove top and it will be ready in 20 minutes, if you want to set it and forget it, the slow cooker is great and it will be ready in a few hours.

Yes! Just throw everything in, close the lid, cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, then quick release, stir and enjoy! Just make sure to use heavy cream and not regular milk so it doesn’t curdle.

Throw everything in the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 2-2 ½ hours or low for 4-5 hours. Stir a few times throughout cooking.

Simply use twice the amount of all the ingredients. The cooking time will be the same weather it’s stove top or in the slow cooker.

This dish is best served fresh, but can be made a day or two ahead of time, refrigerated, then reheated when ready to eat. It will last only 3-5 days once cooked so keep that in mind.

Yep, freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 6 months. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then heat and serve.
