Slow Cooker Sweet Corn
Smoky, charred sweet corn smothered in cream cheese and butter. Yes please! The perfect, set-it-and-forget-it side dish for Thanksgiving or family gatherings all year round.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 5 ears of corn on the cob, husk and silk removed (30-32 oz of corn kernels)
- 8 tablespoon (½ cup) butter
- 8 oz package cream cheese
- 6 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Heat the grill to high. Brush the grill grates with oil. Place peeled ears of corn onto the grill. Rotate frequently until the kernels have charred to your liking. The goal is to get color/flavor into the corn, not to cook them through. They will cook completely in the slow cooker. Remove corn cobs from the grill and set aside to cool enough so that you can handle them.
- On a cutting board, cut the corn from the cob. To make this process less messy, skip the cutting board and place a small bowl upside down in a larger mixing bowl. Cut the tip off of the corn cob so it has a flat surface to rest on. Hold the corn cob vertical on top of the small bowl. Remove the corn kernels by starting from the top of the cob and cutting down towards the tip. The bowl will catch the kernels. Be very careful!
- Add corn kernels into the slow cooker. Place cream cheese and butter on top of the butter. Pour water over corn. Sprinkle sugar over all of the ingredients. DO NOT STIR.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Stir well after the corn has cooked. Optional: Stir in cream or milk until you reach desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.
