5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Creamed Corn
This slow cooker creamed corn uses thawed frozen corn, cream cheese, butter, half and half, and sugar to create a rich, creamy side dish. Blending some corn with the half and half adds smoothness, while slow cooking the mixture melds the flavors and softens the texture. The result is a comforting, creamy corn dish that can be served warm as a side for dinner or holiday meals, with optional fresh chives enhancing its appearance and mild onion flavor.
