  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups whole kernel corn (canned or frozen, drained)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal or cornbread mix (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
  2. Add corn and butter: Place the drained corn into the slow cooker. Add butter on top and stir lightly so the corn is evenly coated.
  3. Add cream cheese and milk: Cube the cream cheese and add it along with the milk. Stir gently to combine without mashing the corn.
  4. Season: Add salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Mix lightly.
  5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally to help the cream cheese melt evenly. If needed, cook on high for 1½ to 2 hours.
  6. Check consistency: Stir well near the end of cooking. The casserole should be creamy and thick. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, cook uncovered for 15 more minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust: Add more seasoning if desired. Stir in shredded cheese or cornmeal mix for extra richness.
  8. Serve: Keep warm in the slow cooker until ready to serve. Serve directly or transfer to a casserole dish for presentation.

Notes

Thawed frozen corn can replace canned corn with no flavor loss.

You can add chopped bell peppers, green onions, or shredded chicken for variation.

For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese or reduce the butter by half.

This dish pairs beautifully with roasted turkey, grilled chicken, or baked beef dishes.
