Salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter (optional)

Instructions:
Prep the Ingredients: If you're using fresh corn, remove the husks and cut the kernels off the cob. Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Assemble in Slow Cooker: In your slow cooker, combine the corn, cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to mix.
Add Cheese & Bacon: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the corn mixture. Stir again to evenly distribute.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the corn is tender and the mixture is hot and bubbly. Stir halfway through the cooking process for an even consistency.
