🥣 Instructions
1. Prepare the slow cooker:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Combine ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix together the drained corn, creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and corn muffin mix. Stir until combined.
3. Add cream cheese:
Gently fold in the cubed cream cheese. You don’t need to mix it completely — it will melt into the casserole as it cooks.
4. Season:
Add salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer. Stir lightly.
5. Cook:
Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours
or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the center is set and the edges are golden.
6. Finish & serve:
Stir gently before serving to distribute the melted cream cheese throughout. Garnish with fresh chives or a sprinkle of cheddar cheese if desired.
