- ½ Cup Butter
- ½ Cup Milk
- ½ Cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
- Salt - to taste
- Pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including frozen corn kernels, cream cheese, butter, milk, heavy cream, sugar, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add to Slow Cooker: Place all the ingredients into your slow cooker. Make sure to evenly distribute the cream cheese and butter for consistent melting during cooking.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours. Alternatively, you can cook it on high for 2 to 3 hours. During cooking, stir once or twice to ensure even cooking and mixing of flavors.
- Season and Garnish: After cooking, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, scallions, or chives if desired to add a fresh, vibrant finish to the dish.
Notes
- For a thicker creamed corn, cook on low for the full 6 hours.
- Use fresh corn if preferred; just reduce cooking time slightly.
- You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a lighter version.
- Adjust the sugar based on your desired sweetness.
- Garnishes like crispy bacon bits also complement this dish well.
