Receta Creamed Corn, ala Mary
When I could not make it to the BiG family Thanksgiving, I was asked to send my Creamed Corn recipe - not so easy because I don't measure. But this is what I wrote, and I hope it will be Just Right!
I am making my best guesses about the measures of everything, and I am writing this from my memory of what I do. It has basically been a year since I made this last. All I can say is Best of Luck to you. This should be plenty enough for our large family Thanksgiving dinner.
About 12-20 servings. (Our big family dinner is for 30+ people and this is only a side dish so it works for all of us, possibly even with leftovers)
Ingredientes
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup Onion, chopped tiny (optional)
- 1/3 cup Bell Pepper, chopped tiny (optional)
- Frozen Corn, a couple of small bags or most/all of a large bag
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Tbls all-purpose Flour
- 1/2 - 1 cup Whole Milk
- 3 – 6 strips of Bacon cooked and crumbled (optional)
- 1/4 cup or so Green Onion, sliced thin (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add onion and bell pepper if using. Cook until slightly tender.
- Add corn. Cook, stirring as necessary to prevent sticking and scorching, until the corn is tender cooked (not quite as much as when making fried corn). NOTE: I have no idea how long this will take, depends on stove and how frozen the corn is when added. I guess probably 10 – 20 minutes.
- Add cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for several minutes. You are trying to have the corn absorb some of that cream. This will make the corn mixture thicken some. NOTE: I have no idea how long this will take, depends on stove. I guess probably 10 minutes or so. NOTE: Also, if 1 cup of cream seems scant, add more. The corn should be a bit liquidy when the cream is first added.
- IF the corn is already at the desired consistency, skip the next step.
- Put flour and milk in a lidded jar and shaketo mix. Add this mixture, a little at a time, to your pan and cook to the desired consistency. You might not need all of it. NOTE: I have no idea how long this will take, depends on stove. I guess probably 5 minutes or so.
- Finally, stir in the optional green onions (&/or crumbled bacon, &/or Parmesan cheese), and pour into serving dish.
- NOTE: At Thanksgiving our family usually just add green onions at the end. The other options sound wonderful to me though. I would ask the Boss before making any changes at Thanksgiving, though.
