Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (16 ounces / 454 grams) bags of frozen corn
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) package of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
Seasonings:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gently transfer frozen corn kernels into the slow cooker, ensuring an even distribution along the bottom.
- Slice cream cheese and butter into uniform small cubes, scattering them evenly across the corn surface.
- Delicately dust granulated sugar over the corn and dairy mixture, creating a light sweet layer.
- Secure the crockpot lid and set the temperature to low, allowing the ingredients to meld and transform for 4-5 hours.
- Periodically stir the developing mixture to promote consistent heating and prevent potential sticking.
- During the final 30 minutes of cooking, gently fold the ingredients to help break down the cream cheese and integrate flavors.
- Taste the corn mixture and enhance with a precise sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper just before serving.
- Transfer the creamy, glossy corn to a serving dish, allowing the rich, velvety texture to shine.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese and butter beforehand to ensure smooth melting and even distribution throughout the corn.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and replace some butter with olive oil for a healthier twist.
- Add crispy bacon bits or chopped green onions as a garnish to elevate the flavor and provide extra texture.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or chives to customize the dish and add a fresh, aromatic touch.
