Notes
Storage: The creamed corn will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of butter, you can use olive oil, but I love the taste of butter with corn.
- Instead of milk, you can add vegetable or chicken broth, but the milk does help to create a more creamy consistency.
- Instead of cheddar cheese, you can use any other shredded cheese or leave it out. I often make it with gouda cheese!
