I have been making this for years in the crock pot. I also add 1 Tbsp. of sugar to make it taste like fresh corn. I also add a little sugar when heating up canned corn that has been drained.<br/>If you don't drain your canned veggies they will taste like the can, then add a little water if needed.

I have made this for years, but I always sauted onions in the butter before I add the corn and cream cheese, then I add a couple of sliced Jalapeno peppers for a kick! I never have any left over at BBQ's.

I have been making this exact dish for many years. This year I went to post it for Thanksgiving and found I had been soundly beaten to the punch. I do just a few things differently, although the instructions here are very good. 1. While the corn is in the colandar draining, I place the butter in pot to melt over medium heat. 2. When butter is almost melted, I add the cream cheese along with the salt and 1/2 tsp white pepper. When almost completely broken down by heat and stirring, remove from the heat. Then I add the corn, folding to blend. 3. I then place in casserole dish and set aside. It then is ready for re-heating either in the oven or the microwave. I dress with parsley before bringing to the table. This is so easy and yet so very tasty. Thanks for posting this.
