Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs frozen corn
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter cut into cubes
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Toppings
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen corn, sugar, and salt into the slow cooker and stir to combine evenly.
- Add Dairy: Pour the milk over the corn mixture, then arrange the butter and cream cheese cubes evenly on top.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours to ensure thorough cooking and creamy texture.
- Stir to Creamy Consistency: Remove the lid and stir the corn mixture vigorously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, breaking down any curdled cream cheese.
- Season: Stir in the pepper thoroughly to season the creamed corn.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the cooked and crumbled bacon and the sliced chives over the creamed corn before serving.
Notes
- You can use frozen corn directly without thawing it first.
- If using canned corn, drain it well before adding to the slow cooker.
- When removing the lid, the cream cheese might appear curdled; just keep stirring until it smooths out.
- This dish can be kept warm in the slow cooker on low if serving later.
- For a richer flavour, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or heavy cream.
