Ingredients
Scale
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 the frozen corn (both packages), cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker basin.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW. Cook the mixture for 3 and a half to 4 hours, allowing all ingredients to meld and the corn to become tender.
- Stir midway: For best results, stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time to ensure even melting and prevent any cheese from sticking to the sides.
- Finish and serve: After cooking is complete, give the mixture a final stir and serve warm as a delicious side dish to your meal.
Notes
- Stirring halfway through cooking helps the cheese melt evenly and prevents burning on the edges.
- You can substitute sharp cheddar cheese for a punchier flavor or mild cheddar for a creamier taste.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats and holiday roasts.
- For a lower-fat version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese, and substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- Make sure not to open the slow cooker lid too often to maintain consistent temperature.
