Crockpot Creamy Corn
When you need a simple, creamy, and delicious side dish, crockpot creamy corn is a perfect choice. This dish takes minimal effort but delivers big on flavor. It’s rich, buttery, and slightly sweet, making it a great addition to any meal.
Equipment
- Crockpot (Slow Cooker)
- Cutting Board & Knife
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
- Wooden Spoon or Silicone Spatula
- Serving Spoon
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn frozen, canned, or fresh
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese (cubed)
- ½ cup unsalted butter cubed
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream optional, for extra richness
- 2 tbsp sugar adjust based on sweetness preference
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional, for a cheesy version
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
- Cut the cream cheese and butter into small cubes. This helps them melt evenly and blend smoothly into the corn mixture.
Step 2: Add Everything to the Crockpot
- Place the corn, cream cheese, butter, milk, heavy cream (if using), sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) into the crockpot. Give it a quick stir to distribute the ingredients.
- Pro Tip: If you’re using frozen corn, no need to thaw—it will cook perfectly in the slow cooker!
Step 3: Cook on Low for 3-4 Hours or High for 1.5-2 Hours
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and let it do its magic. Stir once or twice during cooking to help the cream cheese and butter melt evenly.
- Pro Tip: If you want the creamiest texture, cook on low—this gives the flavors time to blend beautifully!
Step 4: Stir and Adjust Seasoning
- Once the cooking time is up, stir everything well to make sure the cream cheese and butter are fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add a little more salt or a sprinkle of sugar if you like it sweeter.
Step 5: Add Cheese (Optional)
- If you’re making a cheesy version, stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese at the end. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes until the cheese melts into the creamy sauce.
Step 6: Serve Warm & Enjoy!
- Scoop the creamy corn into a serving dish or serve it straight from the crockpot. If you’re hosting a gathering, leave it on the “Keep Warm” setting so it stays hot and ready to enjoy!
- I love serving this with BBQ chicken, roasted turkey, or even just a simple grilled steak. It’s such a versatile side dish that works with almost anything!
