If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing side dish that’s downright irresistible, then this slow cooker cheddar corn needs to go straight onto your radar. We’re talking tender sweet corn absolutely smothered in the most glorious blend of melty cheddar, tangy cream cheese, butter and cream. It’s rich, decadent and insanely craveable!
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. You literally just dump a couple bags of frozen corn into your crock pot along with the cheese, dairy and seasoning. Give it a little stir, then let it slowly work its magic for a few hours. As it cooks away gently, the corn becomes the perfect tender batch while the cheeses melt down into an epically creamy, gloriously gooey sauce.
When it’s finally ready, every bite is an explosion of sweet corn encased in that luscious cheesy cream bath. The cream cheese lends a tangy richness, while the cheddar gives you that signature funky savoriness. A touch of butter adds even more luxury, while letting the fresh corn flavor still shine through brilliantly.
While already sublime as-is, you can easily amp up the flavor even more with some simple mix-ins. Crispy bacon bits, sauteed onions or peppers, a sprinkle of chili powder or smoked paprika – the options are endless for putting your signature spin on this cheesy corn masterpiece. A dash of hot sauce or pickapeppa sauce would also be divine for a little kick.
No matter how you dress it up, this cheddar corn is downright addictive. It makes a wonderfully indulgent side for all your favorite mains like chicken, steak, pork chops or meatloaf. But it’s also hearty and satisfying enough to be a full vegetarian meal on its own! I’ve definitely polished off a whole batch for dinner without regrets.
