Instructions:
Prepare ingredients:
Cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooled, crumble it into small pieces. Shred the sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Combine in slow cooker:
In your slow cooker, combine the frozen corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked bacon, heavy cream, melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, and paprika.
Mix well:
Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the cheese and bacon are evenly distributed throughout the corn.
Season:
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir again to incorporate the seasonings.
Slow cook:
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Stir the mixture occasionally during the cooking time to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom and to ensure even cooking.
Final stir and seasoning:
Once the corn is cooked and the cheese is melted and creamy, stir the mixture one last time. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) if needed.
Garnish (optional):
If desired, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the Cheddar Corn with Bacon before serving for a touch of freshness and color.
Serve:
Serve the Slow Cooker Cheddar Corn with Bacon warm as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
