Can I Freeze Creamed Corn?
One of my favorite easy meal prep ideas is to make this creamed corn ahead of time. Then I like to store the leftovers for later in the freezer, in freezer friendly bags.
When ready to serve, just place the frozen creamed corn in the refrigerator to allow it to thaw. Then microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl.
That makes this corn an ideal make-ahead Thanksgiving dinner side dish, or to include as part of your Christmas dinner party menu.

Could you do this with canned corn?
Hi Whitney,
I have never tried using canned corn myself. If you do try using canned corn, please let me know how it goes and how this change impacted your total cook time.

This is a great recipe!!
Aww… thanks, Marianne! So glad you enjoyed the creamed corn! 🙂
Can you cook this on low for longer? 8 hours?
Thanks!
Erin
Hi Erin ~ I honestly haven’t tried cooking it on Low, and can’t tell you what the time would be for that. If you do give it a try on the low setting, let us know how it turns out! 🙂
