Casserole Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 8 ounces 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 the corn kernels into the slow cooker. Top them evenly with cubed cream cheese and slices of butter to create a rich base.
- Pour Milk and Season: Pour the milk over the layered ingredients, then sprinkle sugar, salt, and pepper on top to enhance the natural sweetness of the corn and balance the flavors.
- Cook the Casserole: Cover the slow cooker and set to LOW heat. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally—about every hour—to ensure the cream cheese melts evenly and the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
- Final Stir and Serve: Once cooking is complete, give the casserole a final stir to combine any settled ingredients and serve warm for the best creamy texture and flavor.
Notes
- Cube the cream cheese into small pieces to promote faster and even melting.
- Stir the casserole every hour during cooking to help the ingredients meld smoothly.
- Do not skip the sugar; it enhances the corn’s natural sweetness beautifully.
- If possible, use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
- Both fresh and frozen corn kernels work well; frozen corn can be added directly without thawing.
- For a richer casserole, substitute milk with heavy cream.
