Ingredients
:
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- 1 package (8.5 oz) cornbread mix (such as Jiffy)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
:
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
- Grease the inside of your slow cooker with a little butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, cornbread mix, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until fully combined, and the cream cheese is well mixed into the ingredients.
- Transfer to Slow Cooker:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker and spread it out evenly.
- Cook the Casserole:
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or high heat for 1.5-2 hours. The casserole should be set and golden brown on top when done. If you’d like a slightly crispy top, you can cook it for an extra 15-20 minutes.
- Top with Extra Cheese:
- In the last 10 minutes of cooking, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top of the casserole. Let it melt for a cheesy, golden finish.
- Serve:
- Once done, give it a final stir and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
:
- For extra flavor: Add chopped green onions or a little diced jalapeño for a bit of spice.
- Creamier texture: You can mix in a little extra sour cream or milk if you’d like a creamier casserole.
- Freezing: This casserole can be frozen after cooking. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container and freezing for up to 3 months.
This Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Corn Casserole is a comforting, creamy, and cheesy dish that pairs perfectly with a variety of main dishes like roast chicken, pork chops, or even BBQ! Enjoy!
