Absolutely delicious! I now use heavy cream instead o c milk and add extra of the cream cheese to keep the creamy texture as the heat makes it runnier.
I left out the bell pepper and added minced garlic. Amazing.
Tasty! Served it with meatloaf and sour dough bread. My husband loved it! Did not sprinkle the remaining bacon on it. Otherwise, same recipe.
My husband and I both love creamed corn but this is next level creamed corn! It is SO creamy and delicious. I made it four days ago and he’s asked me to make it again tomorrow. This one will be served in our house for years to come!
I liked the taste and it was a good portion for 6 adults and 3 kids (I made the original recipe for 8). However mine was more watery than I would have liked. I drained canned corn … maybe I should have let it drip in a strainer? Patted it dry with a paper towel? use less Half and Half?
The flavor was GREAT, but it was so soupy. I’m reading through reviews to see how like solved this
Made this to take to a cookout. Everyone loved it! I used 3 16 oz bags of thawed frozen corn, a whole red bell pepper, but kept to the recipe for the other ingredients, except for the bacon. Being vegetarian, I sprinkled in smoked paprika in place of the bacon. I’m making it again tonight for our family dinner.
This is amazing. I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone requested it for Christmas. Super easy and do delicious!!
made this for thanksgiving, it was better than i thought. loved it and so did everyone else.
the family loved this side dish. I added more chive and onion that was diced fine. hefty on the calories, so only for special occasions. will make again
My family loves this recipe. It has become a staple for Easter dinner.
I may make this again. It was easy and all gone by the end of the party, so people enjoyed it. Probably wouldn’t change anything unless I added a jalapeno as some have suggested.
I doubled it for a large family gathering; rounding up the corn to 5 small bags (10 cups), bacon to the full package and 3 containers of chive and onion cream cheese. It was delicious and quickly became the most requested dish to bring when when our family gets together!
Great recipe! I made it for a family get together and everyone loved it. I used 4 small bags of frozen corn and a whole red bell pepper. I left out the bacon and it still came out great.
I unfortunately did not enjoy this as I had hoped. Too much cream cheese that left a bad after taste. I would cut the cream cheese in half.
So good, just as written! This was a big hit at my family’s Thanksgiving. The recipe didn’t seem to specify, so I used canned corn (both yellow and white), and it turned out great.
This recipe was amazing! It was a big hit for Thanksgiving and I plan to make it again for Christmas dinner. Thank you!
I loved this recipe it had a southwestern taste to it, someone at Thanksgiving suggested that next time I try adding some black beans to it and serve it with tortilla chips as a sort of dip and I may try that next time. It was definitely a hit and will definitely be making it again.
So yummy. I did 1/2 the cream cheese this recipe calls for and it was a soy, dairy, egg free cream cheese and it was still a bit too rich. Next time I want to add some jalapeño and a little less cream cheese 🙂
This was delicious. Corn is the only vegetable my family will eat so what a treat to have a variation! A keeper.
This recipe was excellent! Only thing substitution (because My grocers didnt have) was I subbed Allouette “garlic & herb” spread for the “onion & chive” cream cheese.
