Iowa Creamed Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the kernels off the corn and place in a bowl. Use the back of a knife or a butter knife to "milk" the cobs. (This means applying pressure to remove any of the juice left from the kernels being cut off.)
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the corn and any liquid scraped from the cobs. Cook until the kernels are bright yellow, shiny and softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir in the cream cheese until it is melted and combined into the corn, another 2 to 3 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Transfer the corn to a serving dish and sprinkle with the chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper and butter. Whisk together the milk and flour, and stir into the corn mixture. Cook stirring over medium heat until the mixture is thickened, and corn is cooked through. Remove from heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Grate 6 ears of corn on the large holes of a box grater into a bowl. Carefully slice off kernels from remaining 3 cobs using a sharp knife; transfer to bowl. Scrape cobs with back of the blade to extract creamy liquid into bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in corn with liquid, thyme, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, stirring often, until corn is tender but still has a slight bite, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons butter until melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cut the tip off cob. Cut the kernels from cob with a small paring knife. Using the back of the blade, scrape against the cob to press out the milky liquid.
• Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine with corn. Add the heavy cream and water. Mix.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat bacon grease. Add corn mixture and turn heat down to medium-low, stirring until it becomes creamy, about 30 minutes.
• Add the butter right before serving.

Steps:

• In a skillet, fry the bacon until lightly browned. Remove and set aside. Pour 1/8 to 1/4 cup of bacon drippings over bread crumbs; set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons drippings; saute green pepper and onion in reserved drippings until tender. Stir in the corn, bacon and half of bread crumbs. , Spoon into a 1-qt. baking dish; sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Over medium heat melt the butter with the bacon fat. Add the onion, fennel and jalapeño and cook about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the corn and spices and cook for 5 minutes. Add cream cheese and heavy cream and simmer until a heavy consistency is achieved (approx 10 minutes). Stir frequently. Once finished place in a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions.
• Note:I posted the recipe exactly as Ruth's Chris listed it but I often add a touch more cream cheese and on occasion have left out the jalapeno if I didnt have it on hand but no matter what do not omit the fennel bulb. It really makes this recipe and will not disappoint! Again -- this is amazing with fresh corn cut off the cob. Hint: since you use so little of the fennel bulb I have chopped up the rest and frozen it for future use and it works out perfectly.
