"My grandparentsdotcom Newsletter has done it again! -- Amazed me w/yet another recipe I would never have found on my own & one that turns something ordinary into something special. Here's what they had to say about this recipe that I suspect will become a family favorite: "Who knew that packaged frozen corn could become something so delectable? The standby side dish gets a face-lift thanks to your slow cooker & the addition of bacon, cheese & tomato." They gave credit for its origin to the BETTER HOMES & GARDEN NEW COOKBOOK, 16th Edition. Thank You BHG! Enjoy!"

Except I changed it! I am trying to eat my way through my stash of canned goods. And I cook for myself, no more than 2 servings. So I took my existing half a can of creamed corn, diced 1/5th or so of yellow onion, 1/2 a can of diced tomatoes, 1/5 a cup of grated parm, almost a cup of shredded colby, and 1 T butter. Popped into tiny crock pot for two hours. Added salt, pepper, parsley. Cooked turkey bacon in fry pan. Put it on top of corn "stew". Excellent

We really enjoyed this creamed corn and it worked perfectly in the crockpot. Loved the addition of the parmesan cheese. The only change I made was to omit the tomatoes -- DH's preference only as I would have enjoyed them. Will be making this dish again soon.
