Description

This Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is a creamy, comforting side dish perfect for any occasion. Made with fresh or frozen corn, cream cheese, butter, and simple seasonings, it cooks low and slow in the crockpot for a rich, flavorful, and easy-to-make treat that pairs wonderfully with roasted turkey, ham, or grilled chicken.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Dairy

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup butter, sliced
  • 1/4 cup milk

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the fresh or frozen corn kernels into your slow cooker insert. Add the cubed cream cheese and then the sliced butter on top of the corn, ensuring even distribution.
  2. Pour Milk and Season: Pour the 1/4 cup of milk over the ingredients. Sprinkle granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper evenly over all the ingredients to season the mixture.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours. Stir the mixture occasionally during cooking to help the cream cheese and butter melt evenly and blend smoothly with the corn.
  4. Final Stir and Serve: Once cooking is complete and the mixture is creamy and well combined, stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Cream Cheese Cubes: Cutting cream cheese into small cubes speeds up melting and promotes even texture.
  • Stirring: Stir occasionally during cooking for smooth blending and to prevent sticking to the slow cooker.
  • Corn Options: Fresh, frozen, or well-drained canned corn work well. Frozen corn can go straight from freezer to slow cooker without thawing.
  • Make it Richer: Substitute heavy cream for the milk to create a richer, more indulgent casserole.
  • Add-ins: Enhance flavors with crispy bacon bits, chopped jalapeños, or a sprinkle of paprika.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble all ingredients in the slow cooker insert the night before, refrigerate, then add 30 minutes to the cooking time the next day.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pairs perfectly with roasted turkey, ham, grilled chicken, or your favorite main dishes.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
  • Freezing: Cool completely and freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 3 to 4 hours
