Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Corn Kernels | 4 cups (fresh or frozen) |
| Cream Cheese | 1 (8 oz) package, cubed |
| Butter | 1/2 cup (1 stick), sliced |
| Milk | 1/4 cup |
| Granulated Sugar | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black Pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
Note: If using frozen corn, there’s no need to thaw beforehand—just toss it in frozen!
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker
Start by lightly greasing the inside of your slow cooker insert. You can use a bit of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Add the 4 cups of corn kernels directly into the slow cooker.
2. Add the Creamy Layers
Distribute the cubed cream cheese evenly over the corn. Then, lay the sliced butter on top of the cream cheese. These will melt slowly during cooking, creating a rich, velvety base.
3. Pour and Season
Gently pour the 1/4 cup of milk over the top of the corn and dairy mixture.
Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and black pepper evenly over everything. Don’t worry about stirring yet—this will happen later once things begin to melt.
4. Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to LOW.
Cook for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally (about once every hour if you’re around). This helps the cream cheese and butter melt evenly and blend into a creamy sauce.
