This is one honkin' awesome dish! We enjoyed it for T'giving and I got lots of raves over it.
My hubby - who loves everything and anything - even said this was his favorite dish of the day. WOW!

I am an admitted addict to cream cheese and I can't imagine any way at all, that this dish could be improved on.
It was great to put it on a few hours before we ate, and then just stir a few times before enjoying.
It even keeps warm for an hour on low after it's ready to eat...if you have any left over, that is.
I remember the very first time I tried this recipe. My reaction was...
OH.MY.WORD!!!
It's easy and makes a fine side dish for any meal.
You just can't go wrong using your slow cooker either, especially when you're fixing a big meal.
Hope you'll give this one a try over the holidays. You won't be sorry!!!
If you prefer, you can reduce the amount of cream cheese to 8 ozs. It would still be delicious I'm sure.
Just look at that would you....can you say....
CAAAAA-REEEEAAAM-M-M-M-M-Y!
ULTIMATE CREAMED CORN
2 (16 ozs) bags frozen whole kernel corn
12 ozs. cream cheese, cut into cubes
(I always use 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese)
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted
(I used 6 Tb.)
2 tsp. sugar
(I used xylitol)
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Spray bottom and sides of 3 - 4 qt. slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread corn over bottom. Top with cream cheese cubes. In small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients; pour over corn and cream cheese. Cover; cook on high for 2 - 3 hours. Stir well before serving. (I can't resist - I HAVE to stir it after about 1-1/2 hours!) Corn will hold on low heat up to 1 hour; stir occasionally.
(Hint: place cream cheese cubes in the middle of the corn so that it doesn't burn on the sides while cooking).
