Slow Cooker Cheddar Corn with Bacon

Ingredients:

Ingredient	Quantity
Frozen corn kernels	4 cups
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese	1 cup
Cooked bacon, crumbled	6 slices
Heavy cream	½ cup
Unsalted butter, melted	¼ cup
Garlic powder	¼ teaspoon
Paprika	¼ teaspoon
Salt and pepper	To taste
Optional: Chopped fresh parsley	2 tablespoons

Instructions:

Prep Ingredients: Cook the 6 slices of bacon until they are crispy, then crumble them. Shred the 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese.
Combine in Slow Cooker: In a slow cooker, combine the 4 cups frozen corn, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 6 slices of crumbled bacon, ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon paprika. Mix everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season & Cook: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and stir again to incorporate the seasonings thoroughly. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours. Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom and to ensure even cooking.
Finish & Serve: Once cooked, stir the corn mixture one last time. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Optionally, sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving to enhance both the flavor and presentation.
