Easy and Savory Slow Cooker Creamed Corn with Bacon
This is the most creamy, dreamy, velvety and savory creamed corn side dish with bacon. The secret to this special slow cooker side dish is a Southern cooking favorite... bacon grease. This is simple enough for any weeknight meal and fancy enough for any holiday spread.
Ingredients
- 12 Ounces Bacon
- 61 Ounce Cans of whole kernel corn
- 8 Ounces Cream cheese
- 1 Stick Butter
- 1 Cup Half and half cream
- 3 Tablespoons Bacon grease
- 2 Tablespoons Flour or corn starch
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 Teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 Teaspoon Dried oregano
- ½ Teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Lay bacon in a single layer on a pan sprayed baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the baking sheet.
- Pan spray crockpot and add the remaining ingredients. When adding the cans of whole kernel corn, drain 2 of the cans and add the remaining cans including the liquid. I slice the stick of butter and the cream cheese into about 8 slices each when adding to the crockpot.
- Top with the crumbled cooked bacon. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Enjoy!
