Cheesy Creamy Crock-Pot Corn


So we love to eat at Rudy's 'Country Store' & BBQ especially after we go to SeaWorld. I must say they have the best cream corn, it is sooooo delicious and their BBQ is also super yummy if you are a Texas BBQ person and like lotsa Black Pepper & Heat....Anyway the cream corn inspired me to look around for good recipes....and I found a few that sounded good but just weren't exactly right, well.......I blended a few recipes and came up with this, its not traditional but it was big hit last night at dinner will all of us, including the kids.....Now the recipe calls for sugar and I must say I used super sweet corn and forgot to add the sugar......so if you are using really sweet corn you may not need the sugar.......Ok, so this recipe tastes good but it is not the best for you.....I do love throwing it in the crock pot.....I am thinking I will be using this one for the holidays!.....I am planning mixing the leftovers with some taco meat and black beans and gonna serve it as a dip with chips.....will let you know how it is.....so many leftover possibilities with this recipe....

Serves: 8-10

2 16oz bags Frozen Corn (I found a Sweet Yellow Corn)
1 8oz pkg Cream Cheese
1/2 C Butter
1-2 T Sugar
3 Slices of American Cheese (sounds weird, tastes really good)
1/4 C Whole Milk
Cayenne Pepper, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste

Throw everything into a Crock-Pot and cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring every 30 min. The first two hours it looks like its never going to be done in 3 hours, but trust me it will be done. I wouldn't cook it on High as you wouldn't want the cheese or milk to scorch.
