Ingredients
Scale
Butter and Aromatics
- ¼ cup salted butter (divided)
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced (optional)
Corn Mixture
- 2 pounds frozen corn kernels, thawed and divided
- ½ cup milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
Seasonings and Cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Jalapeno and Butter: If using jalapeno, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the finely diced jalapeno and cook until tender to soften its flavor. If not using jalapeno, simply add 1 tablespoon of butter directly to the slow cooker.
- Blend Cream Corn Base: In a blender, combine 1 cup of the thawed corn kernels with the milk and cream cheese, then blend until smooth to create a creamy corn base.
- Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add the cream cheese mixture, the remaining corn kernels, cooked jalapenos (if used), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into a 4-quart slow cooker. Stir well to thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients.
- Slow Cook the Corn: Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or alternatively, cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. The corn should be fully melted and creamy at the end of cooking.
- Add Final Butter and Cheese: Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the shredded cheddar cheese. Continue cooking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and smoothly blended into the creamed corn.
Notes
- For less heat, omit the jalapeno or leave the seeds in to increase spiciness.
- Use fresh corn if available, though frozen works well and is more convenient.
- Adjust salt according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
- This recipe can be kept warm in the slow cooker for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
