Prep and Combine (5 minutes):

1. Gather Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients and your slow cooker.
2. Combine in Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, add the frozen corn, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, melted butter, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution and coating of the corn with the cheese and seasonings.

Slow Cooker Magic (3-4 hours on low or 1-2 hours on high):

1. Cover and Cook: Place the lid on your slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 3-4 hours. Alternatively, you can opt for high heat for 1-2 hours if you’re short on time.
2. Occasional Stirring: Throughout the cooking process, stir the corn occasionally. This helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking and melting of the cheeses.

Season and Serve (5 minutes):

1. Check for Doneness: Once the corn is tender and the cheeses have melted and are fully incorporated, your dish is ready.
2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the Slow Cooker Cheddar Corn and season with salt and pepper to your liking. If you find the mixture too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
3. Serve: Dish out this warm, creamy, and flavorful corn as the perfect side to complement your meal.

Tips for Success:

• Cheese Varieties: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend for a different flavor profile.
• Fresh vs. Frozen: This recipe works well with both frozen and fresh corn. If using fresh, adjust the cooking time slightly as needed.
• Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
