Notes
Want your casserole a little thicker? Put a bit of corn starch into a glass and mix with water, then pour small amounts of liquid into your skillet at one tablespoon at a time to thicken.
Want your casserole a little lighter? This is a very rich recipe due to the cream and Parmesan; you can make it taste a bit lighter by using 1% milk in place of Half and Half; this may make it soupier and may need to add a thickener for the sauce (see above)
Want your cream corn even Richer? Want your corn even richer? Substitute your 1/2 cup of milk and flour for half a bar of cream cheese or replace it with heavy whipping cream.
Instead of shredded Parmesan, try other types of cheeses that you love, like shredded Asiago or Romano.
Topping suggestions: Serve creamed corn with bites of bacon, bread crumb topping like Panko, chives, fresh additional Parmesan cheese, shredded cheese, diced jalapenos, or a little bit of crackled pepper.
