This easy Creamed Corn is made from scratch with just 5 ingredients. Simple, classic and delicious side dish for your holiday dinner!

This corn dish is so easy to make, just like my Fresh Corn Salad and the Sweet Corn Casserole. Perfect for fans of this vegetable!

We live in Kansas so corn is a staple in my kitchen. Whether it’s summer or winter, corn dishes appear on our table, especially during the holidays. This Creamed Corn is super quick to make, especially if you need a last-minute dish. I used canned corn because it is available all year round, but fresh or frozen works great too.
