Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup butter, sliced
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place 4 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels into the slow cooker evenly.
  2. Add cream cheese and butter: Distribute the cubed 8 oz package of cream cheese and the sliced 1/2 cup of butter evenly over the corn.
  3. Pour milk: Slowly pour 1/4 cup of milk over the corn, cream cheese, and butter to help the mixture become creamy as it cooks.
  4. Season the mixture: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper evenly over all the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  5. Cook on low: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 3 to 4 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to ensure the cream cheese and butter melt completely and the mixture is well combined.
  6. Final stir and serve: Before serving, stir thoroughly to ensure the casserole is creamy and the ingredients are evenly distributed for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn kernels if available for a sweeter and more natural flavor, or frozen corn can be used as a convenient alternative.
  • Stirring occasionally during cooking helps the casserole develop a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add more sugar or pepper if preferred.
  • This casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a holiday spread.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
