Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen corn (thawed slightly)
- 4 oz cream cheese (cubed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cubed)
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the corn, cream cheese, butter, shredded cheddar cheese, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper into a 3–4 quart slow cooker. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Cook the Mixture: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the mixture on the low setting for 2 to 3 hours or on the high setting for 1 to 1.5 hours. Stir the mixture once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even melting and blending.
- Finish and Stir: Once the corn mixture is hot and creamy, stir well again to fully incorporate the melted cheeses, creating a smooth, cheesy texture.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle the cheddar corn with chopped fresh chives for added color and flavor. Serve the dish warm directly from the slow cooker for an easy, comforting side.
Notes
- For extra richness, substitute half-and-half for the whole milk.
- Add crumbled bacon for a smoky, savory twist.
- Incorporate diced jalapeños if you prefer a spicy kick.
