Casserole Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 4 tablespoons butter, sliced
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Add the corn kernels into the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spread. If using frozen corn, you can add it directly without thawing.
- Add Cream Cheese and Butter: Place the cubed cream cheese evenly over the corn, then lay sliced butter on top to help create a rich, creamy texture as it melts.
- Pour Milk and Seasonings: Pour the milk over the mixture and sprinkle the sugar, salt, and pepper evenly across the top to balance and enhance all the flavors.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every hour or so to ensure even melting and smooth consistency.
- Final Stir and Serve: Once everything is melted and combined, give it a final good stir to fully blend the creamy casserole before serving hot.
Notes
- Cube cream cheese ahead of time to promote faster and more uniform melting.
- Stir the casserole occasionally during cooking to help all ingredients combine smoothly.
- Do not skip the sugar; it enhances the natural sweetness of corn beautifully.
- For easier mixing, bring cream cheese to room temperature before assembling.
- Fresh or frozen corn can be used interchangeably without thawing.
- For a richer variation, substitute milk with heavy cream.
