We often drizzle honey over our buttered corn on the cob, so why not make slow cooker honey butter corn! Your guests will enjoy this slight twist. Enjoy this side dish with any protein of you choice!
Ingredients
- Corn – We opt for frozen corn because it’s harvested at its peak and flash-frozen, ensuring quality and flavor year-round.
- Butter – A generous amount of butter is essential to make this dish rich and flavorful
- Cream Cheese –
- Honey – The key ingredient that adds natural sweetness to the corn.
- Seasonings – A blend of pepper, garlic powder, minced dried onion, and salt enhances the flavor. Parsley is optional but makes a great garnish.
Variations
- Substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer texture.
- Try using maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile.
- Add one diced jalapeno for spicy honey corn, OR use hot honey!
- For extra flavor, consider adding crispy bacon bits or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
