Crockpot Cheesy Corn is corn that is covered in creamy, melted cheese cooked in a slow cooker. This will be your new favorite way to serve corn as a side dish!
CROCKPOT CHEESY CORN
I have to say, this Crockpot Cheesy Corn is right up there with my Cheesy Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes when it comes to cheesiness, flavor, and the ease of putting it all together. Both are tasty and delicious side dishes that go with everything from Roasted Pork Loin to Pepper Crusted Beef Tenderloin.

Ingredients (full recipe below)
- Corn kernels–I used canned, but you could also use thawed and drained frozen corn or fresh corn.
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- Monterey jack cheese
- Whole milk
- Granulated sugar
- Garlic powder
- Kosher salt
- Ground black pepper
- Butter
- Cream cheese

HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT CHEESY CORN
Once you have your ingredients and your slow cooker out and ready to go, you can put together this side dish to serve with any meal. Begin by adding the drained corn, shredded cheeses, milk, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker. Top these ingredients with the cubed butter and cream cheese. Cook on high for 2 hours (or low for about 4 hours).
After the cooking time, in a separate bowl, combine the corn starch and water to make a slurry, making sure you use cold water. Drizzle and stir that into the corn mixture, cooking for 20 more minutes. This will help thicken the mixture. Serve the cheesy corn warm.
HOW TO STORE CROCKPOT CHEESY CORN
To store leftovers of the cheesy corn, keep it in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Heat it up in the microwave or on the stovetop. If you freeze the corn, it will last up to a month. Let it thaw in the refrigerator before warming it up. Don’t forget to label and date your freezer-safe container.
