Can This Be Made In A Crock Pot?

I loved this recipe so much that it inspired me to create a version for the slow cooker. Here is my recipe for Slow Cooker Creamed Corn! It’s very similar to this one, but adapted to cook in the crock pot instead.

Can I use Fresh Corn?

You can use fresh corn if you want! Just pay attention to the cook time as it may differ slightly. I would estimate you would need to use around 3-4 ears of corn for this recipe!
