Crockpot Corn Casserole!!

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Sprinkle the cornbread mix directly into the bowl.

Gently fold it into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing—this keeps the casserole tender rather than dense.

If you’re adding seasonings like garlic powder or pepper, mix them in at this stage.

Step 4: Add Cheese and Extras

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and any optional add-ins like green onions or diced chilies.

For an extra cheesy top, reserve about ¼ cup of cheese to sprinkle on during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Step 5: Transfer to the Crockpot

Pour the mixture into your prepared slow cooker.

Smooth the top with a spatula so it cooks evenly.

Step 6: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook:

• Low setting: 3½ to 4 hours
• High setting: 2 to 2½ hours

The casserole is done when:

• The center is set
• The edges are lightly golden
• A toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean

If adding reserved cheese on top, sprinkle it over during the last 30 minutes and cover again until melted.

Step 7: Let It Rest

Once cooked, turn the crockpot to “warm” and let the casserole sit uncovered for about 15–20 minutes. This allows it to firm up slightly, making it easier to serve.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Corn Casserole

• Don’t overcook—it can dry out.
• Always drain the whole kernel corn but never drain the cream-style corn.
• Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture.
• Add a tablespoon of sugar if you prefer a sweeter version.
• For a richer flavor, substitute half the sour cream with cream cheese.
