Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is the first step toward culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups frozen corn kernels
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup milk
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Substitution Tip: Feel free to use fresh corn if it’s in season, and swap the cheddar for a cheese of your choice, like Monterey Jack, for a different flavor profile.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious dish ready with minimal effort:
- Place the frozen corn, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper into your slow cooker.
- Stir the ingredients gently to combine, making sure the cream cheese is distributed evenly.
- Cover and cook on low heat for about 4-5 hours, or until the mixture is heated through and the cheese has melted.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon about 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Once ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
- Serve warm, garnished with sliced green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Cooking Tip: If you’re pressed for time, you can cook this on high for 2-3 hours—just be sure to check it occasionally to prevent overcooking.
