4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the cheese from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
5. Once done, give the corn mixture a final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of color and freshness.
Variations & Tips
For a healthier twist, consider using turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. You can also add a kick of spice by including some diced jalapeƱos or a dash of cayenne pepper. If you’re a fan of additional textures, try folding in some cooked, diced red bell peppers or green onions just before serving. For a richer version, you might use a mixture of cheddar and smoked Gouda or add a spoonful of cream cheese to the slow cooker.
