Sweet and tender kernels of corn are simmered in a creamy sauce for a no-fuss side dish made in the slow cooker.

Ingredients:

3 bags (12 oz each) Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers® Niblets® frozen whole kernel corn

4 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, cut into cubes

 1 cup milk

1/2 cup butter or margarine melted

 2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

1. Spread corn over bottom of 3- to 4-quart slow cooker. Top with cream cheese cubes. In small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients; pour over corn and cream cheese.

2. Cover; cook on High heat setting 2 to 3 hours.

3. Stir well before serving. Corn will hold on Low heat setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.

***Special Touch***

 Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions on top of the creamed corn just before serving to give the dish a dash of color.

***Substitution***

 Reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) can be used in place of the regular cream cheese.
