Ruth’s Chris Creamed Corn Ingredients

How To Make Ruth’s Chris Creamed Corn
Step One: Add the corn to the slow cooker and top with cubed cream cheese and sliced butter. Pour in the milk, then sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper.
Step Two: Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, stirring once halfway through to help everything blend. Before serving, stir well until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.
Tips & Tricks
- Use frozen corn straight from the bag. No need to thaw—it’ll cook perfectly in the slow cooker.
- Cube the cream cheese and butter. Smaller pieces melt faster and blend more evenly.
- Stir halfway through cooking. This helps prevent any sticking and ensures a silky texture.
- Swap milk for heavy cream. For an extra-rich version, go with cream—it’s worth it.
- Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika. It gives the corn a subtle kick that balances the sweetness.
- Finish with shredded Parmesan. Stir in a handful before serving for that signature Ruth’s Chris flair.
Storing, Reheating and Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing: Store leftover creamed corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Let it cool completely before sealing to keep the texture creamy.
- Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce. Stir frequently to prevent scorching or separation.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare this dish up to a day in advance and refrigerate it right in the slow cooker insert. When ready to serve, warm it on the “keep warm” setting or low heat until hot and creamy.
