Add the frozen corn, honey, unsalted butter, cream cheese, dried minced onion, garlic powder, salt and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir the ingredients to combine.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure the cream cheese and butter melt evenly and coat the corn well.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped fresh parsley or sliced green onion. Enjoy!
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Reheat the corn gently in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to restore creaminess.
This dish pairs well with grilled chicken, roasted turkey, or a spicy barbecue entrée.
For extra flavor, consider adding crispy bacon bits, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or a handful of diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Enhance the visual appeal and add a fresh note by garnishing with chopped fresh parsley, sliced green onions, or even chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.
Substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer texture, or try using maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile.
