Instructions:

1. Prepare ingredients: Cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooled, crumble it into small pieces. Shred the sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside.
2. Combine in slow cooker: In your slow cooker, combine the frozen corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked bacon, heavy cream, melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Mix well: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the cheese and bacon are evenly distributed throughout the corn.
4. Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir again to incorporate the seasonings.
5. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Stir the mixture occasionally during the cooking time to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom and to ensure even cooking.
6. Final stir and seasoning: Once the corn is cooked and the cheese is melted and creamy, stir the mixture one last time. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) if needed.
7. Garnish (optional): If desired, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the Cheddar Corn with Bacon before serving for a touch of freshness and color.
8. Serve: Serve the Slow Cooker Cheddar Corn with Bacon warm as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
