Ingredients for Crockpot Cornbread Casserole

• Boxed cornbread muffin mix – We used Jiffy cornbread mix, but you can use your favorite corn muffin mix.
• Large eggs – Give the casserole a nice and fluffy texture.
• Canned cream style corn – Makes this casserole super moist and adds a little bit of sweetness.
• Canned whole kernel corn, drained – Works with the cream corn to add lots of sweet corn flavor.
• Sour cream – Adds a hint of tanginess and helps create a moist texture.
• Butter, melted – Adds richness to the casserole.
• Milk – We used whole milk but you can use 2% if that’s what you have on hand.
• Cheddar cheese – You can buy it pre-shredded but shredding it yourself is always best.
• Salt and black pepper – Add according to your personal taste.

How to Make Crockpot Corn Casserole

Step One: Mix the Batter

• In a large bowl, combine Jiffy corn muffin mix, eggs, milk, and sour cream. Blend using an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until smooth.

Step Two: Add the Rest of the Ingredients

• Fold in the melted butter and remaining ingredients, and mix using a rubber spatula, scraping the edges of the bowl while combining. 

Step Three: Add to Slow Cooker

• Spray the bottom of a 7-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a greased slow cooker.

Step Four: Cover and Cook

• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high heat for 2-½ – 3 hours.
• Check periodically. Do not mix while cooking.
• Stick a wooden coffee stirrer (or any wooden longer stick) in the center of the mixture. If it comes out clean, the Jiffy corn casserole is done cooking. 

​Slow Cooker Corn Casserole Variations

• Cheese: Swap out the cheddar for pepper jack cheese or any of your favorite melty shredded cheese.
• Jalapeños: For a spicy kick, mix in some diced jalapeños.  You can use chopped fresh jalapeños or pickled jalapeños.
• Bacon: Cooked and crumbled bacon bits add a wonderful smoky flavor. You can also use pan-seared pancetta or prosciutto.
• Onions and peppers: Diced onions and bell peppers will give this corn casserole recipe a Southwestern twist.
• Green chiles: If you prefer a bit of mild heat, you can add a small can of green chiles.
• Cream cheese: If you want the texture to resemble a slow-cooker corn pudding recipe, you can throw half of a block of melted cream cheese into the batter.
• Ground beef: If you want to make this a heartier side, a pound of cooked and drained ground beef is a great option.  

Storage Instructions 

Allow the casserole to cool until it reaches room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If you’re not going to eat it the next day or within a few days, you can also freeze it for about a month.

What’s the Best Way to Prevent it from Sticking?

The natural sugar in this creamed corn casserole can cause it to stick. To prevent that, be sure to grease the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or use a crockpot liner. 

Can I Double this Recipe?

While you can double the ingredients, keep in mind that this dish will rise as it cooks. You’ll need to leave enough room in the slow cooker to allow for this. You will also need to increase the cooking time. 

Can I Make this Cheesy Corn Casserole in the Oven?

You sure can. In fact, I have this oven-baked Jiffy Cornbread Casserole you may like to try.
