Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Frozen corn kernels
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 oz Diced green chilies
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the crock pot by lightly spraying the inside with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
2. Add the frozen corn kernels to the crock pot, evenly spreading them out along the bottom.
3. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and distribute them across the corn.
4. Add the unsalted butter in small pieces, placing them evenly over the corn.
5. Pour the heavy cream over the corn mixture.
6. Sprinkle in the diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir gently to combine, but don’t worry about mixing thoroughly; the ingredients will meld as they cook.
7. Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally, about once an hour, to ensure even cooking.
8. After 2.5 to 3 hours, check the mixture. The cream cheese and butter should have melted, and the dish should be creamy and well combined.
9. Stir in the shredded Mexican cheese blend until it is fully melted and integrated into the corn.
10. Taste the creamed corn and adjust seasoning, if needed, with additional salt or spices.
11. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Crock Pot Mexican Creamed Corn!
