Notes
Use 4 ounces of cream cheese instead of cheddar cheese.Add ½ cup of finely diced onion.Use fresh corn cut off the cob if you'd like. Sauté or blanch it for 1-2 minutes before adding it to the crockpot. Use 2 cans of sweet corn.I use whole milk with the cornstarch but use any you have on hand.Use flour instead of cornstarch for the roux.Be sure to shred your own cheese off a block. It melts so much better and is so much creamier.Double the recipe for a large group.
