Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen corn: The star ingredient, providing sweetness and texture.
- 1 cup heavy cream: For that rich, creamy consistency.
- ½ cup milk: To lighten the creaminess while still keeping it delicious.
- ¼ cup butter, melted: Adds richness and flavor.
- 2 tablespoons sugar: Enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
- 1 teaspoon salt: Essential for seasoning.
- ½ teaspoon black pepper: Adds a subtle kick.
- Optional: ½ cup cream cheese: For an extra creamy texture.
Instructions
STEP 1: PREPARE THE SLOW COOKER
Begin by greasing the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray or a little butter. This will prevent the creamed corn from sticking and make cleanup easier.
STEP 2: ADD INGREDIENTS
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen corn, heavy cream, milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and black pepper. If you’re using cream cheese, add it to the bowl as well. Stir until well combined.
STEP 3: TRANSFER TO SLOW COOKER
Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.
STEP 4: COOK
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. If you’re using cream cheese, stir it in about halfway through cooking to ensure it melts and incorporates smoothly.
STEP 5: TASTE AND ADJUST
Once the cooking time is up, taste the creamed corn. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add a little more sugar. Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste as well.
STEP 6: SERVE
Stir the creamed corn well before serving, and enjoy it hot. It pairs wonderfully with roast meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a holiday spread.
