- 2 lbs frozen corn
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter cut into cubes
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen corn, sugar, and salt into the slow cooker and stir to combine evenly.
- Add Dairy: Pour the milk over the corn mixture, then arrange the butter and cream cheese cubes on top.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 hours. If using the LOW setting, cook for 5 hours.
- Mix Sauce: Remove the lid and thoroughly stir the corn mixture until it forms a smooth, creamy sauce. Stirring is essential to blend the cream cheese properly.

Notes
- Frozen corn can be used directly without thawing.
- The cream cheese may appear curdled when the lid is first removed; stirring will smooth the sauce.
- If using canned corn, drain it well before adding to the slow cooker.
- For a vegetarian version, omit bacon or substitute with vegetarian bacon.
