Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (16-oz) package frozen corn
- 1 (12-oz) package frozen corn
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place both packages of frozen corn, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
- Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 3 and a half to 4 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt perfectly.
- Stir Midway: About halfway through cooking, give the mixture a good stir to blend the ingredients thoroughly and prevent sticking or uneven cooking.
- Final Stir and Serve: Once cooking time is complete, stir the mixture one final time to mix everything well and serve warm as a creamy, cheesy corn side dish.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, substitute some or all of the cheddar cheese with sharp cheddar.
- You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
- Use fresh corn kernels if preferred; adjust cooking time as needed for desired tenderness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
