J is for Jalapeño!
We're working our way through the alphabet and for the letter J, we're bringing the heat with jalapeños!
This year I'm participating in a bi-weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet. It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.
Whether you’re throwing it together for a weeknight dinner or showing off at your next potluck, this slow cooker jalapeño corn from Taste of Home is a no-fuss, flavor-packed winner.
What You’ll Need
- Frozen corn, cream cheese, jalapeños, butter, water, salt and pepper
How to Make It
-
Toss everything into a 3-quart slow cooker.
-
Cover it up and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, giving it a stir every now and then.
Tips and variations
- Use a tomato corer to remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers.
- Want it spicier? Keep some jalapeño seeds or swap in a hotter pepper.
- Love cheese? Stir in a handful of shredded cheddar.
- Want to take it over the top? Crumble some bacon on top or sprinkle with green onions.

What a great easy side dish. There's nothing better than a throw it all in the crockpot recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteI often saute corn and jalapeno together but have not tried making it creamy with cream cheese. Anxious to do so.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a side I would love all mixed into everything else. Or as a salad mix in! I do love a southwest salad.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing and I bet it's the perfect pot luck dish! I love jalapeño with corn.
ReplyDeleteI've often stir fried corn and jalapeno but have not tried it with cream cheese. I'm going to give this recipe a try especially now that fresh corn is available. And like the idea of adding some cheddar cheese too.
ReplyDeleteSign me up! This would loved so much here. Jalapenos and corn are super combo and the creamy dish is a perfect one to make for any occasion.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flavors in this!
ReplyDeleteLike creamed corn but MUCH, MUCH better! I could eat this by the bowlful!
