Prep Time:
10 mins
Cook Time:
2 hours
Total Time:
2 hours 10 mins

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 cup sweet onions, minced (such as Vidalia)
• 3 (15-ounce) can whole corn kernels, drained
• ½ cup heavy cream 
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) 
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 ounces cream cheese (cut into cubes)
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. PREP: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. When melted, add the minced onion and season with a tiny pinch of salt and sauté the onions for 4-5 minutes or until they soften, make sure they don’t brown, you just want them to soften and turn translucent. 
2. SLOW COOKER: Placed the sautéed onions, corn, half and half, sugar, garlic powder, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and bay leaf in the bowl of the slow cooker. Add cracked pepper, if desired. Place the cream cheese on top. Cover and let cook or 2 hours on the high setting or for 4 hours on the low setting. You basically just want the cream cheese to melt and for everything to heat all the way through. Stir every hour or so to make sure things are moving along. When cooked, add the grated parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Taste and adjust with additional salt, pepper, and sugar as desired. Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
3. SERVE: Transfer the creamed corn to a serving dish and serve. Alternately, you can serve directly from the slow cooker (just be sure to put it on the warm setting and stir every 20-30 minutes if your slow cooker runs hot.)
