Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages (16 oz each) frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 2 cans (15.25 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (14.75 oz) cream-style corn
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your slow cooker by lightly coating the insert with cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup significantly easier after enjoying your Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Corn Casserole.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed frozen corn kernels, drained canned corn, and cream-style corn. Stir gently until evenly distributed. The different corn varieties create textural interest that makes each bite satisfying.
- Step 3: Add the sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the corn mixture. Stir until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the corn. This seasoning blend enhances the corn’s natural sweetness while adding savory depth.
- Step 4: Pour the melted butter and milk into the corn mixture, folding gently until all ingredients are well combined. The liquid ingredients will create the perfect environment for the cream cheese to melt into a velvety sauce.
- Step 5: Transfer half of the corn mixture to your prepared slow cooker, creating an even layer. Distribute the cream cheese cubes evenly across this layer, gently pressing them slightly into the corn.
- Step 6: Add the remaining corn mixture on top, covering all the cream cheese cubes. This layering technique ensures the cream cheese melts evenly throughout the casserole.
- Step 7: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or HIGH for 2-2.5 hours. After the first hour, gently stir once to help distribute the melting cream cheese.
- Step 8: Your Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is ready when the cream cheese has completely melted and incorporated into the mixture. Give it a final stir before serving, creating swirls of creamy goodness throughout.
