Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups frozen corn kernels (about 2 lbs): Sweet and tender, perfect for this dish.
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese: Softened and cubed for easy melting.
- ½ cup unsalted butter: Adds richness and flavor.
- 1 cup whole milk: For a creamy base.
- ¼ cup granulated sugar: Enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
- ½ teaspoon salt: Balances the flavors.
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper: For a subtle kick.
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional): For a slightly thicker consistency.
Instructions
Step 1: Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker
- Place the corn, cream cheese, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper in your slow cooker.
- Pour the milk over the top.
Step 2: Cook Low and Slow
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat.
- Cook for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the cream cheese and butter melt evenly.
Step 3: Thicken the Creamed Corn (Optional)
- If you’d like a thicker consistency, mix 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
- Stir the slurry into the creamed corn during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the mixture is warm, creamy, and well combined, give it a final stir.
- Serve directly from the slow cooker or transfer to a serving dish.
Notes
- Use Fresh Corn: If you have fresh corn, cut it off the cob and use it instead of frozen for an extra-sweet flavor.
- Don’t Skip Stirring: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Add a Twist: Sprinkle in shredded cheese or a pinch of cayenne pepper for added flavor.
