Creamed Corn is of course a southern staple during the summer. It’s so sweet and rich and goes so well with fried chicken and bbq. Adding chunks of smoked sausage makes it taste even more delicious. If that’s possible.

Recipe Tip

When making Creamed Corn, be sure to really scrape the corn cobs well with the back of a knife or the side of a spoon to get every bit of pulp and milk. Yes, it’s a little bit labor intensive to scrape each and every cob well, but your effort will be well rewarded.

And don’t skimp on the cream. This is one side dish that’s meant to be rich and creamy!

    Add garlic and cook 1 additional minute.

  5. 5

    Add corn and stir in 3/4 cup cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  6. 6

    Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover and continue to cook, stirring frequently for 15 to 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Stir in remaining cream, black pepper, crushed red pepper, thyme, and remaining salt.
