Ingredients for Rudys Creamed Corn Copycat Crockpot Recipe
- 32 ounces frozen corn
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
How to Make Rudys Creamed Corn Copycat Crockpot Recipe
Step 1. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker
Combine frozen corn, cream cheese cubes, heavy cream, butter, sugar, pepper, and salt directly into the crockpot. No need to thaw the corn first. The slow cooker will heat everything gradually, melting the cream cheese and butter into a smooth base.
Step 2. Cook on low for 4 hours
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low. During this time, the cream cheese melts completely while the corn softens. The natural starch from the corn blends with the dairy, creating a thick, silky texture.
Step 3. Stir until fully creamy
After four hours, stir everything thoroughly. Ensure the cream cheese has completely melted into the sauce. You should see a perfectly smooth and velvety texture. If serving later, keep on warm for up to two hours.
Pro Tips for the Best Rudy’s Style Creamed Corn
Avoid over salting
Kosher salt enhances the sweetness of the corn, but too much will overpower the mild cream sauce. Always start with the listed amount and adjust at the end.
Use high fat dairy for best texture
Heavy cream and full fat cream cheese provide the signature luxurious texture. Substituting lower fat versions will result in a thinner sauce.
Double the recipe for crowds
This dish doubles perfectly. Use a large 8 quart slow cooker or cook in two separate units for big gatherings.

FAQs
Can I use canned corn instead of frozen
Yes, but frozen corn provides a sweeter and firmer texture. Canned corn can be used but should be drained well.
Can I cook this on high
You can cook it on high for 2 hours, but the low and slow method produces a smoother result.
Can I make this ahead of time
Yes. Prepare it completely, cool it, refrigerate it, and rewarm it on low in the crockpot with a splash of cream.
Does this freeze well
Cream-based corn dishes can separate when frozen, so freezing is not recommended for best texture.
How long can this stay on warm
Up to two hours without altering texture.
