Slow Cooker Creamy Corn

The corn turns lush and velvety as it simmers in butter and cream cheese, the sweetness deepening over four hours of gentle heat. The kernels stay tender but plump in a glossy, buttery sauce that thickens just enough to cling to each bite.

It’s the sort of side dish that quietly makes a meal complete — rich but balanced, easy but deeply satisfying. It’s giving… Thanksgiving… particularly good with a glazed ham (ask me how I know) and you’ll want to offer this up every year from now on.

Tips for Success

• Use frozen corn — no need to thaw before cooking.
  
• Cut the recipe in half for smaller gatherings, or double it for a crowd.
  
• Stir once midway to help the butter and cream cheese melt evenly.
  
• Add a pinch of black pepper or smoked paprika for extra depth.
  
• Make ahead: Prepare up to a day in advance and reheat on low in the slow cooker.
  
• Shortcut option: Cook everything in a large skillet over medium heat for about 15 minutes.

The bottom line
