A winner in the "tried new" recipe category. So good! The only ingredient I did not add, was the red bell pepper, because I didn't have any in the freezer at the time. I will be adding it and making this again. A keeper recipe.
The recipe is online at The Southern Lady Cooks - Slow Cooker Creamed Corn.
If you freeze your corn off the cob with butter, you can use that and add less butter too. I save bacon grease, so I used that, and already had some bacon cooked that was leftover from another meal. The sugar could be left out too. I mean, it's only 2 Tbsp, but we freeze our corn with butter and sugar so I can leave it out.
A win-win recipe if you freeze your corn off the cob, and freeze your garden bell peppers. Saving your bacon grease is always a frugal tip I share often.
Sharing for those looking for a new side dish for your own meals, or for potluck meals. I've tried other variations in the past, and we really like this one.
I like to try new recipes exactly according to instructions, and ingredients. Next time I will swap the corn starch with arrowroot powder and see if it makes a difference in consistency or flavor. I do by organic corn starch, but for us arrowroot would be a healthier option.
Tip: We cook up an entire package of bacon, and save half for a second meal or use it in another recipe.
Enjoy!
