Ingredients

  • 5.25 cups Canned corn, drained 3 (15-ounce) cans; 5.25 cups frozen or fresh
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sugar optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 8 ounce Cream cheese sliced
  • 1/2 cup Salted butter sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place the corn, milk, black pepper and sugar in the slow cooker. Stir well. Top with thick slices of cream cheese and butter.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours (or on low for 4-5 hours). If possible, stir the ingredients after about 2 hours. Otherwise, stir well at the end and then cover and cook for 15 more minutes.
  • Season with salt to taste and add more pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days in an airtight container.
  • Reheat: Warm in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of milk as needed.
  • Freezing: Freeze up to 3 months; thaw overnight and reheat gently.
  • Make Ahead: Prep up to 2 days ahead and reheat on Low in the slow cooker before serving.
  • Stir halfway for a smoother texture.
  • Taste and adjust salt/sugar before serving.
  • Cut butter and cream cheese into small cubes for even melting.
  • Use frozen corn for creamier consistency.
  • For a lighter version, use a lighter fat milk.
  • For a richer version, replace milk with half-and-half.
  • Cook uncovered at the end (about 15 min) to thicken if desired.
  • Keep warm in slow cooker for up to 2 hours.
  • Easily double for larger gatherings.
  • Add fresh herbs for brightness.
  • Avoid overcooking — it can make corn tough.
