Slow Cooker Creamed Corn

This Slow Cooker Creamed Corn with bacon is a cinch to make.  It’s a tasty side dish for special occasions and holiday meals or, during the summer when fresh corn is in abundance. Five minutes of prep work and the slow cooker does the rest.

Slow Cooker Creamed Corn with Bacon

Thanksgiving may be my most favorite holiday of the year. It's always fun to catch-up with family and friends, have a great meal and watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Later in the day, there's always football and Christmas baking plans being coordinated around the table, too. As expected, the oven does double time during the holidays so, it's always handy to have a slow cooker, or two, to take on some of the work.

While the oven roars and the slow cookers, yes I said plural, do the heavy lifting, we chatter and catch up on family news. We typically enjoy our meal mid-afternoon which gives ample time to explore desserts later in the day and a beloved leftover turkey sandwich. While we visit, we usually have snacks to munch on like pimiento cheese and praline pecan brie en croute before the meal. Then for dessert, the sky's the limit but, for sure there'll be pumpkin cream pie and pound cake.

Helpful Tips for Making Creamed Corn

This slow cooker corn is spectacular both in flavor and ease of preparation. Just a few pointers:

• You can use fresh or frozen corn for this casserole in the same amount.
• I use a 6 quart slow cooker for this recipe but, you can use a round or a smaller slow cooker, with no problem. Adjust the cooking time, if needed.
• You can always adjust the sweetness to your personal taste.
• The cream cheese will melt while cooking but, it's important to give it a good stir to incorporate it fully at the end of cooking.
• The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
• You can omit the bacon, if desired.

Don't stay in the kitchen this year, make as many dishes as you can in advance, then sit back and make some memories. You'll be so glad you did.
