Casserole Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 4 tablespoons butter, sliced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add Corn and Cream Cheese: Place 4 cups of corn kernels into the slow cooker, then evenly distribute the cubed 8 oz cream cheese on top, followed by 4 tablespoons of sliced butter.
- Pour Milk and Season: Pour 1/2 cup milk over the corn mixture, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper evenly on top.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally—about every hour—to ensure the cream cheese melts evenly and the mixture combines smoothly.
- Final Stir and Serve: After cooking, give the casserole a good final stir to make sure it’s perfectly creamy and well mixed, then serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Cube the cream cheese to help it melt faster and more evenly.
- Stir the mixture occasionally during cooking to achieve a smooth texture.
- Do not skip adding sugar as it enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing if possible.
- Both fresh and frozen corn work well; frozen corn can be added directly without thawing.
- For a richer casserole, substitute milk with heavy cream.
