Rudy’s Creamed Corn Crockpot Version

Sweet, velvety, restaurant quality and made entirely in the slow cooker, this rudys creamed corn copycat crockpot recipe transforms simple ingredients into the richest and most indulgent creamed corn you will ever taste. The texture is luscious, the flavor is boldly buttery, and the hands off cooking method makes it a holiday essential.

The result is an ultra creamy dish that rivals Rudy’s BBQ famous side dish. If you love comfort food that requires almost no effort, this is the recipe you will return to again and again.

This version stays true to the original inspiration while remaining simple enough for weeknights. Whether you are preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, feeding a crowd for a barbecue, or creating a fuss free potluck contribution, this slow cooker creamed corn recipe delivers flawless results and consistent flavor every time.

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.
