Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 30 ounces frozen whole-kernel corn
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Pour the frozen whole-kernel corn into a 4 or 5-quart slow cooker, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Add Cream Cheese and Butter: Place the cream cheese and butter on top of the corn without stirring to allow gradual melting during cooking.
- Season: Sprinkle the granulated sugar (or honey) and salt evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker to add sweetness and balance the flavors.
- Cook on Low Heat: Set the slow cooker to low and cook the mixture for 4 hours, allowing the ingredients to soften and meld together for a creamy texture.
- Stir After Melting: Once the butter is completely melted, give the mixture a gentle stir to help incorporate the ingredients evenly.
- Final Stir and Serve: Stir the creamed corn thoroughly to combine all flavors and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute honey for sugar for a natural sweetener option.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of black pepper or a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- If the creamed corn is too thick after cooking, stir in a little milk or cream to reach desired consistency.
