I'm not going to lie: I love creamed corn out of the can. Warmed up with a little bit of butter, some salt, and a generous sprinkling of pepper, it makes me a very happy girl. I have definitely been known to indulge.But last summer, I was browsing through cookbooks and found a recipe for homemade creamed corn that sounded too good not to try. (It contained cream cheese. You know how much I love that stuff. I couldn't pass up the opportunity.) I did some tweaking to the recipe, and this has been our family's favorite creamed corn recipe ever since. I made it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, and everyone commented on how delicious it was. It's impossibly rich and creamy and buttery and it makes a perfect, decadent side dish for any home-cooked meal. I'm sorry for keeping this one from you for so long!

This is similar to the recipe I use. I don't add green onions though. One time I added bacon and that was super good!
Oh, this sounds soooo good. I'm a sucker for cream cheese, too:-)!
The cream cheese has to make it the best. Just ran it off and hope to make it soon.
