- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
