- 2 pounds frozen corn
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter, cubed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup chives, chopped
Add frozen corn kernels (no need to thaw!) into your slow cooker, then pour in some milk, sugar, salt and pepper and give it a good stir.
Next, top with cubed cream cheese and butter and let it cook for 2-3 hours on HIGH or 4-5 hours on LOW.
At that point, you just stir the corn vigorously to get it to come together to create a silky, creamy sauce.
Some of the corn will break down, but if you want an even creamier creamed corn, use an immersion blender or transfer part of the cooked corn mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times before adding it back to the slow cooker and stirring everything together.
Stir in the pepper and (optional) top with bacon and chives to serve.
