It’s the kind of dish that everyone loves, from kids to adults, and it goes with just about any meal—from holiday dinners and barbecues to weeknight family suppers.

What I love about this recipe is how incredibly easy it is to prepare. Just toss the ingredients into your slow cooker, give it a stir, and let the magic happen. You’ll end up with corn that’s perfectly tender, swimming in a rich, creamy sauce that tastes like it took hours to make.

Ingredients:

• 3 (15 oz) cans whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, sliced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
2. Add the drained corn, cubed cream cheese, butter slices, and heavy cream.
3. Sprinkle in the sugar (if using), plus salt and pepper.
4. Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted and creamy.
5. Stir well before serving to combine the buttery, cheesy goodness.

Tips & Variations:

• Fresh or Frozen Corn – You can easily swap the canned corn for fresh-off-the-cob or frozen corn. No need to thaw if using frozen; just add a little extra cooking time.
• Extra Creamy – Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or parmesan for even more cheesy flavor.
• Spice It Up – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little kick.
• Make Ahead – Cook the creamed corn ahead of time, refrigerate, then reheat in the slow cooker on warm before serving.
