Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion (diced)
6 cups corn kernels (about 3 (15.25-ounces) cans (drained), 6-8 ears fresh, or 48 ounces frozen*)
1/2 cup milk (any kind you like; the richer the milk, the creamier the corn!)
1/2 tablespoon honey
½ tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese (do not use fat free)
1 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, onion and cook until softened and beginning to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Do not let the onion turn brown and adjust the heat as needed to avoid it. Transfer to a slow cooker (any size works here; I used a small 3 quart).
  • To the slow cooker, add the corn. Stir in milk, honey, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Dice the cream cheese and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and scatter the pieces over the top. DO NOT STIR. Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2 to 3 hours, until the corn is hot and tender.
  • Uncover and stir until the butter and cream cheese are well combined. Stir in the Greek yogurt. With an immersion blender, partially puree the creamed corn to thicken it. Stop to stir a few times to make sure you don't over do it; you want the corn to be creamy but still have some nice texture to it. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer a few ladlefuls of the creamed corn to a food processor or blender and puree (be careful, hot food splatters!). Stir the blended portion back in with the rest of the corn. Keep pureeing batches until your desired consistency is reached.
  • To further thicken the creamed corn: keep the crock pot uncovered and cook on high heat for an additional 15 minutes. Stir and salt and pepper to taste. The corn will continue to thicken as it cools down. Serve very warm.

Bake Alton Brown's perfect Creamed Corn Cornbread recipe from Good Eats on Food Network in a cast-iron skillet using cornmeal, buttermilk and creamed corn.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup creamed corn
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven.
  • In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together to combine well.
  • In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and creamed corn, whisking together to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk to the batter.
  • Swirl the canola oil in the hot cast iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Fresh or frozen corn? While both can be used in this recipe, fresh corn on the cob will give you the best flavor. If using frozen corn, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob. This will help to prevent the kernels from becoming mashed or crushed.
  • Don't overcook the corn. It should be cooked just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the creamed corn.
  • Season the creamed corn to taste. You may want to add a little salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the creamed corn immediately. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course with some grilled chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Cheddar creamed corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for potlucks, picnics, or family gatherings.
