Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz cream cheese (cubed)
- 1/2 cup butter (sliced)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Corn Base: Place the 4 cups of corn kernels into the slow cooker, spreading them evenly to form the foundation of the casserole.
- Add Cream Cheese and Butter: Arrange the cubed 8 oz cream cheese and sliced 1/2 cup butter evenly on top of the corn, which will melt and infuse creaminess during cooking.
- Pour Milk: Pour 1/4 cup of milk over the corn, cream cheese, and butter mixture to help create a smooth, creamy texture as it cooks.
- Season the Mixture: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper evenly over all ingredients in the slow cooker to balance sweetness and seasoning.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to help the cream cheese and butter melt evenly and combine with the corn.
- Final Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the casserole a thorough stir to ensure the mixture is creamy and well blended throughout. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen corn kernels depending on what is available; frozen corn should be thawed before use for best results.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to avoid ingredients settling and to promote even melting.
- Adjust sugar amount according to preference for sweetness.
- This casserole pairs well with roasted meats or can be served as a vegetarian main dish.
- For a richer flavor, replace milk with half-and-half or cream.
