• 200g of streaky bacon, finely chopped
• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
• 250g of cream cheese
• 200g of sour cream
• 100g of grated mozzarella cheese
• 100g of your choice of Tasty, Swiss, or Emmental cheese, grated

• 1 cob loaf, top cut off and hollowed out
• 2 tablespoons of rice bran oil
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1 clove of garlic, halved

How To Make Bacon Corn Cob Loaf In Slow Cooker

1. Cook the Bacon: Place the chopped bacon in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook until crispy. Remove from the pan and let it cool.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Beat them together until smooth. Gently fold in the mozzarella, Swiss or Emmental cheese, creamed corn, sliced spring onions, and cooled bacon until well mixed.
3. Garlic Rub: Gently rub the inside of the hollowed-out cob loaf with the cut side of the garlic clove. Once done, discard the clove.
4. Fill the Cob: Spoon the creamy filling into the prepared cob loaf. Place the loaf on a large piece of aluminum foil or a slow cooker liner for easy removal.
5. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to high. Carefully place the filled cob loaf inside and cover it with the lid. Cook for 2 hours. If your slow cooker has a tendency to heat unevenly, rotate the cob halfway through cooking.
6. Prepare Croutons: Once the cob loaf is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker. Pull the center bread into croutons and toss them with rice bran oil and sea salt.
7. Final Touch: Spread the oiled croutons around the loaf on a baking sheet and pop them in a preheated oven at 180°C. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
8. Serve Warm: Serve the slow cooker cob loaf surrounded by the crispy croutons for dipping.

Can I Use a Different Type of Bread for the Cob Loaf?

Yes, you can use various types of bread for the Cob Loaf; however, a denser bread like sourdough or a hearty white loaf works best. These types hold up better to the moisture from the filling without becoming soggy.

Recipe Tips

• Select Quality Bacon: Opt for high-quality, streaky bacon to really pack your Cheesy Bacon Corn Cob Loaf with flavour. The better the bacon, the tastier the loaf.
• Low and Slow Cooking: Keep your slow cooker on low to allow the bacon and cheeses to meld together beautifully without burning or sticking.
• Consistent Chopping: Chop your bacon and spring onions uniformly to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the loaf, giving every bite the perfect mix of flavours.
• Quality Cheese Choices: Don’t skimp on the cheese; a good mix of mozzarella and Swiss or Emmental gives this dish its irresistibly gooey texture.
• Season to Taste: Always taste your mixture before stuffing the loaf to ensure the seasoning is just right. It’s easier to adjust now than after it’s cooked!

Recipe Variations

• Add Some Crunch: Throw in some chopped nuts or crispy fried onions for an added crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.
• Spice It Up: Mix in some jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper if you’re after a spicy kick that cuts through the richness.
• Go Green: Stir in some chopped spinach or kale for a green boost that’ll make you feel a bit better about all that cheese.
• Different Cheeses: Experiment with different cheeses like sharp cheddar or Gouda for a different flavour profile that might just become your new favourite.

What To Serve With Bacon Corn Cob Loaf

Serve your Bacon Corn Cob Loaf with vibrant and fresh sides such as a crisp garden salad, tangy coleslaw, and buttery sautéed vegetables. Include roasted cherry tomatoes or a smooth mashed potato for a hearty pairing.

You can also pair it with sweet potato fries and a creamy garlic dip for an indulgent touch.

How To Store Leftover Bacon Corn Cob Loaf

In The Fridge:

Wrap your leftover Bacon Corn Cob Loaf tightly in cling film or store it in an airtight container. It will remain fresh and tasty in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ensure it’s fully cooled before storing to maintain its best quality.

In The Freezer:

The Bacon Corn Cob Loaf does not freeze well due to the creamy filling, which can separate and become grainy when thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh, or stored in the refrigerator for a few days instead of freezing.

How To Reheat Leftover Bacon Corn Cob Loaf

Reheat your leftover Bacon Corn Cob Loaf by placing it in an oven preheated to 180°C. Cover it with foil and warm for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
