Ingredients

• Corn- I used frozen corn, but canned corn works really well too.
• Softened cream cheese- to make a rich and creamy sauce.
• Heavy cream- to give the sauce some more creaminess.
• Butter- adds extra flavor to the corn.
• Sugar- for a little sweetness that gives this dish an incredible flavor.
• Salt and pepper- enhance the flavors of everything.
• Parsley- for an optional garnish.

How To Make Rudys Creamed Corn

Step 1: Combine. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the corn, cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper to it. Give all of the ingreidents a few mixes.

Step 2: Cook. Cook everything over low-medium heat for 30 minutes. You'll want to stir frequently as the ingredients first start to heat up until they fully combine. Then you can leave it to cook.

Step 3: Serve. As soon as it's cooked, serve the creamed corn hot with fresh parsley on top, alongside anything you want. Enjoy!

My Pro Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Use whole kernel sweet corn for an even sweeter flavor.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so it melts and mixes easier.
• Serve with parmesan cheese on top if you want a cheesier flavor.
• If you don't plan on serving immediately, put the skillet right in the oven and keep it warm at 200°F.

How I Recommend Storing and Reheating Leftovers

In the fridge: If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

In the freezer: If you don't think you'll eat the leftovers within a few days, you can store them in the freezer for about 6 months. I like to keep the corn in a freezer-safe container, but a freezer-safe bag works too.

Reheating: I've found the best way to reheat the leftovers is just in a skillet again. Warm everything over medium heat with a splash of milk or cream for a few minutes, stirring frequently. If you only want to heat a single serving, you can microwave it in 20-second increments until it reaches your desired temperature. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use a cast iron skillet?

No, you can really use any large pan that you have on hand. You'll want to grease it with some nonstick cooking spray before adding all of the ingreidents, and will need to stir more frequently while everything cooks.

Can I add anything else to the corn?

Yes, a delicious addition is some red pepper flakes or jalapenos if you want to add some spiciness. You can mix the jalapenos in with everything as it cooks or top the finished dish with red pepper flakes.

What can I serve with this recipe?

It goes really well with any comfort food meal like this chicken and dressing, hamburger macaroni soup, Mexican meatloaf, or chicken and mashed potatoes.
