Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 4 cups Frozen Corn No need to thaw
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Sharp or mild, freshly shredded preferred
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter Unsalted or salted, melted
  • 1/4 cup Milk Whole milk recommended for creaminess
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly spray the insert with nonstick spray or wipe with a little butter to prevent sticking.
  • Add the base ingredients: Place the 4 cups of frozen corn into the slow cooker.
  • Add cheeses and dairy: Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup softened cream cheese on top of the corn.
  • Pour in melted butter and milk: Drizzle the 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup milk evenly over the mixture.
  • Season: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste across the top.
  • Stir to combine: Use a spoon to gently stir the ingredients so the cheese and seasonings are distributed.
  • Cook: Cover and set the slow cooker to low. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally (about every hour) so the cheese melts evenly.
  • Finish and serve: Once the corn is creamy and the cheeses are fully melted, give it a final stir, taste for seasoning, and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze the corn for up to 2 months.
