Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 30 ounces canned or frozen whole corn kernels, drained
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans creamed corn
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cornbread mix (like Jiffy corn muffin mix)
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 eggs
Seasonings and Cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the casserole from sticking and to help with easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the drained corn kernels, creamed corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, cream cheese, butter pieces, eggs, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper into the slow cooker. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined into a uniform mixture.
- Cook the Casserole: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set properly.
- Add Cheese: During the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole. Cover again to melt the cheese over the remaining cooking time.
- Rest and Serve: After the cooking time finishes, uncover and let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly for easier serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheating: The best method to reheat is in the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place casserole dish on center rack and cover with foil to prevent drying. Bake for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Add a few tablespoons of cream or milk if it becomes too dry during reheating.
