Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 15ounce cans of sweet corn, drained
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 4-ounce can of diced green chiles, not drained
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray to ensure the ingredients don’t stick.
  2. Add ingredients: Place the drained corn into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, including butter, cream cheese, diced green chiles, sugar, salt, and pepper, evenly on top.
  3. Cook the dish: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook. Use the high setting for 1-2 hours or the low setting for 2-4 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure the ingredients are evenly heated, and the cream cheese melts.
  4. Season and serve: Once finished, adjust the salt and black pepper to your taste. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Free Up Oven Space: Using a slow cooker is the best way to save oven space during holiday dinners and special occasions.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Taste before serving and adjust salt and black pepper to your liking. Remember, you can always add more but can’t take it out.
  • Keep It Warm: Use the warm setting on your slow cooker to keep the corn warm until ready to serve. Perfect for those long family gatherings when everyone is fashionably late.
  • Use Fresh Corn: For a fresher taste, use fresh corn kernels when they’re in season. It adds a nice crunch and sweetness.
  • Make It Ahead: This recipe can be prepared a couple of hours in advance and kept warm, making it perfect for busy family gatherings and freeing you up to enjoy the party.
