We make our Creamed Corn from scratch using real ingredients by sautéing corn with butter and onions and then simmering it in a slightly sweetened, thickened milk. We like to add just a few drops of vanilla extract to the sauce to secretly enhance the flavor and the sweetness of the corn. You will taste a huge difference compared to what comes out of the can!
