Slow Cooker Cheddar Corn with Bacon – Creamy, Cheesy & Totally Irresistible!
This creamy corn dish is the kind of comfort food that disappears fast. With rich cheddar, smoky bacon, and a touch of butter, it’s the perfect easy side for family dinners, potlucks, or lazy weekends.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups frozen sweet corn
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
structions:
Add frozen corn, cream cheese, milk, butter, salt, and pepper into your slow cooker. Stir lightly to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, or on high for 1.5–2 hours. Stir occasionally to help everything melt and mix smoothly.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in shredded cheddar cheese and most of the crumbled bacon (save a little for topping).
Once fully melted and creamy, serve warm topped with the remaining bacon and optional herbs.
Tips:
- Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
- Use fresh corn if in season—just slice it off the cob!
- Great with grilled chicken, barbecue, or even holiday meals.
