3. Add the Corn Muffin Mix
Gradually fold in the corn muffin mix. Be gentle but thorough — the batter should be well combined, but try not to overmix. Overmixing can make the casserole dense instead of light and fluffy.
4. Season and Add Cheese
Sprinkle in the salt and pepper, and fold in the shredded cheddar cheese if using. The cheese will melt into the mixture as it cooks, adding a rich, savory flavor to balance the sweetness of the corn.
5. Transfer to the Crockpot
Pour the mixture into your prepared crockpot and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the crockpot with its lid.
6. Cook on Low
Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Avoid lifting the lid frequently, as this can extend cooking time.
7. Check and Serve
Once cooked, let the casserole rest in the crockpot for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up slightly and makes it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives if desired.
Tips for the Perfect Crockpot Corn Casserole
- Avoid watery corn: Drain the whole kernel corn well to prevent a soggy casserole.
- Cheese variation: Mix in pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder, gooey texture.
- Make ahead: You can assemble the casserole in the crockpot insert the night before and refrigerate. In the morning, just turn on the crockpot.
- Serving suggestion: This casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, ham, or a hearty beef roast.
