Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 44 ounces white shoepeg corn (4 – 11 ounce cans, drained)
- 4 ounce can diced green chilies
- ¼ cup butter (cubed)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (cubed)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Drain the cans of white shoepeg corn thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Gather the diced green chilies, and cube the butter and cream cheese for even cooking.
- Combine in Slow Cooker: Add the drained corn and diced green chilies into the crock pot. Distribute the cubed butter and cream cheese evenly over the top of the corn mixture.
- Season: Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the top to ensure the flavors are balanced throughout the dish.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high heat for 1 hour or on low heat for 2-3 hours, allowing the ingredients to melt together and develop a creamy texture.
- Stir: After cooking, carefully remove the lid and stir all ingredients thoroughly to combine the melted butter, softened cream cheese, corn, and chilies into a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Serve or Keep Warm: Serve the creamed corn immediately for best flavor and texture, or set the slow cooker to the warm setting to keep it at an ideal serving temperature for up to 4 hours.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper along with the green chilies.
- Use fresh corn kernels if canned corn is unavailable; adjust cooking time as needed.
- This dish can be prepared a day ahead and reheated gently in the slow cooker or on the stovetop.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, cook uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes to allow some moisture to evaporate.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute butter and cream cheese with vegan alternatives.
