# Instructions:
01 -
Warm up some butter in a pan on medium heat. Toss in garlic and green onions, cooking until you catch that lovely aroma. Stir in the corn and sprinkle with seasonings until well mixed.
02 -
Drop the cream cheese into the pan, letting it melt down over 5 minutes. Blend in the mayo so the mixture turns super smooth.
03 -
Stir in the half-and-half, then the cheddar and mozzarella until gooey. Sprinkle diced jalapeños, extra green onions, and bacon bits on top before serving.
04 -
Dump all the ingredients (keep toppings aside) into a slow cooker. Cover and cook for 2 hours on low, stirring here and there so the cheeses and cream mingle nicely.
# Notes:
01 -
Using fresh corn adds unbeatable sweetness, but frozen is a handy substitute.
02 -
Blending fresh and pickled jalapeños adds both spice and a punch of tang.
