Casserole Ingredients

4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Cube the cream cheese into small pieces to ensure faster and even melting throughout the casserole. Slice the butter for easy layering.
Layer the Corn and Dairy: Add the corn kernels directly into the slow cooker. Top the corn with the cubed cream cheese and sliced butter evenly across the surface.
Add Milk and Seasonings: Pour the milk evenly over the mixture. Then sprinkle granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper over the top to balance and enhance the flavors.
Slow Cook the Casserole: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours. Stir gently every hour to help all ingredients melt and combine smoothly.
Final Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the casserole a final thorough stir to ensure the creamy texture is consistent and well distributed throughout.

Notes

For faster mixing, use room temperature cream cheese by taking it out 30 minutes before cooking.
Stirring occasionally during cooking helps the ingredients blend more smoothly and prevents sticking.
The addition of sugar is essential to enhance the natural sweetness of the corn.
Both fresh and frozen corn work perfectly; frozen can be added directly without thawing.
For a richer version, substitute the milk with heavy cream for extra indulgence.
