Ingredients

4 slices bacon
cooking spray
4 ½ cups whole kernel corn
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup half-and-half
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) container chive and onion cream cheese

Steps:

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; crumble when cool enough to handle.
Coat the inside of a 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
Combine corn, red bell pepper, half-and-half, butter, sugar, salt, black pepper, and half the crumbled bacon in the slow cooker; stir well.
Cook on High for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Stir cream cheese into corn mixture; cook until cheese melts, about 10 more minutes. Stir well and top with remaining bacon before serving.
