This dish has consistently been my favorite at Thanksgiving over the years. However, it experienced a brief hiatus when my uncle took over Thanksgiving and was secretly using a Costco-prepared version. Upon discovering this, I made a big scene about it and declared I would be responsible for the creamed corn moving forward. According to family lore, my Nana stormed the kitchen of a steakhouse demanding the recipe of this creamed corn (she passed when I was 9 but wow we would have been trouble together).

You Need

6-8 servings
  • 2 lbs corn, fresh or frozen
  • 24 oz whipping cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • How To

    1. Combine corn, cream, salt, sugar, and pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
    2. In a separate pot over medium to low heat, make a roux by melting butter over and adding flour. Stir constantly until roux is thick, lump-free, and a slight orange light brown color. Add to corn and mix well.
    3. Transfer corn into a casserole dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 (or whatever you can manage in a crowded oven) or until cheese is bubbling and beginning to turn golden brown.
