Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Drain the cans of white shoepeg corn and measure out the diced green chilies. Cube the butter and cream cheese for even melting during cooking.
Combine in Slow Cooker: Add the drained corn and diced green chilies into the slow cooker. Place the cubed butter and cream cheese evenly on top of the corn mixture.
Season: Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the ingredients in the slow cooker to enhance the flavors.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for 1 hour or on low for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the ingredients to meld and soften.
Stir and Finish: After cooking, remove the lid carefully and stir all ingredients together until the butter and cream cheese are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Serve or Keep Warm: Serve the creamed corn immediately for the best flavor and texture, or set the slow cooker to warm to keep it ready to serve for up to 4 hours.

Notes

You can use fresh white corn ears boiled and cut off the cob as a substitute if preferred.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use hot diced chilies instead of mild.
Make sure to stir well after cooking to ensure the cream cheese and butter are fully melted and evenly distributed.
This dish pairs nicely with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a holiday side selection.
