If you grilled corn over the weekend, there is a possibility there is leftover corn on the cob. And if that is the case, I have the perfect recipe for you.

My creamed corn with bacon is a great weeknight or weekend side dish.

Serve it with sloppy joes, my orange honey ham recipe, or pulled chicken sandwiches

This easy side dish is also perfect for holidays like Thanksgiving, Easter or Christmas.

It’s very easy to double or triple and your guests will enjoy it.

I have heard it’s the best easy creamed corn recipe and I’m not going to argue with that.

How to Make Creamed Corn

This recipe is perfect for leftover corn on the cob.

All you have to do is cut the corn right off of the cob into a measuring cup and then throw it into a pot.

I used 4 corn cobs for this recipe – depending on the size of your corn cobs, you may need to use more or less.

You can usually cut off about ¾ of cup from each corn ear but my corn cobs were a little small.

I also made sure that the corn was cooked directly on the grill and not just through the husk. I think this gives a little smokiness to the cream corn.

If you’re watching your calories, then don’t feel bad about removing the bacon.

I don’t think its totally necessary, but just adds a little touch – probably the bacon fat. 🙂 And my favorite saying is, “Everything is better with bacon.”

I’m a dream come true to a pork farmer.

Can I use canned or frozen corn?

There isn’t always time to grill corn, especially if you work or go to school.

Luckily, you can buy fire roasted corn in both canned and frozen varieties.

If you want to use canned corn, use a 16-ounce can and drain it well.

If using frozen corn, make sure it is completely thawed before beginning.

Depending on how you thaw the corn, you may need to drain any liquid that melts from the frozen corn.

I do about 4 dozen ears at a time to make frozen creamed corn. I remove the corn from the cob, mix with cream, butter, salt and pepper and then bake it. Remove from oven, let cool, and then put in freezer containers . Goid stuff all winter. But now I think I will play with the recipe a bit, by grilling the corn and adding the bacon.

This looks amazing. The corn on the Cobb at my local grocery looks awful right now. Can I “roast” thawed frozen corn some how?

I don't think so BUT I've seen frozen roasted corn in the freezer section that would be perfect for this recipe.

Hi Patti - I am not sure if this can be frozen. I will be remaking it soon to update the photos and will try then and update the post.
