This Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese Corn is a great side dish and your guests will be asking for the recipe.
This Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese corn is like the corn you’d find in a barbecue restaurant. This isn’t your average creamed corn, it must richer. It has a sauce similar to mac and cheese. We loved it with grilled steaks! My husband said this would be great for a potluck, it’s something totally different from the usual sides.
The recipe starts with bagged frozen corn, then I add browned ham, pepper, Velveeta cheese and cream cheese. Not very many ingredients, but so much flavor. I wasn’t sure if there would be enough liquid in this recipe, after the corn thawed it added the right amount of liquid to keep the dish from being to thick. I loved the ham in this dish, but cooked bacon would be just as good.

Can leftovers be frozen?
Can I make this on the stove, if so place ingredients same way? Thanks
Yes, I think that will work fine.
Is this supposed the a soup or dip
It’s a side dish 🙂 Can be a dip though!
what to sub for Velveeta because that doesn’t exist outside of America, and also the corn, can canned be used? same reason, not readily available in my country frozen.
I think canned corn and some shredded cheddar cheese should work great, the cream cheese will still make it very creamy.
Add less corn and add macaroni ??? Sounds good to me.
wonderful idea!
