Crock Pot Corn Casserole

Crock Pot Corn Casserole is a classic side dish made with corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, butter, and cheddar cheese. It’s fabulously creamy and delicious with lots of sweet corn flavor.

Since this recipe is made with canned corn, it can be enjoyed all year long. You can substitute fresh corn kernels during the summer months.

This Crock Pot Corn Casserole  recipe is wonderfully quick and easy to make. Just mix together all the ingredients in a bowl and dump them in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or on LOW for 4 hours. Only about 5 minutes of hands on time is needed.

How To Serve

Great for a holiday meal and pairs wonderfully with any type of meat. I hardly ever meet anyone who doesn’t like corn so this casserole is a great choice when cooking for family or guests.

Variations and Substitutions

  • You can substitute 4 cups of fresh corn kernels for the 2 cans of whole-kernel corn. No need to cook it first. Or you can use frozen corn. Thaw it first for best results.
  • Try using Pepper Jack cheese instead of cheddar for a little heat.
  • Add a can of diced green chilies or a tablespoon of diced jalapeno for a little more heat.
  • For a super rich version try adding a combination of sour cream and softened cream cheese (1/2 cup sour cream and 4 ounces of cream cheese.)
  • Add crumbled, cooked bacon for some smokey flavor.

Tips For Making Crock Pot Corn Casserole

  • You have to watch the time with this casserole, especially if cooking on high. You want to cook it until the center is set, but cook it too long and the edges will burn. Each crock pot cooks a little differently.
  • I use Jiffy cornbread mix, but any 8.5-ounce box will do.
  • Place a double layer of paper towels right under the lid to catch the condensation. This will help the casserole set up.

    I’ve made this several times. Love the tip on the double layer of papertowels. I do this, now, with many recipes. Also, I used the Honey Jiffy muffin mix. Made it nice and sweet and delicious!

  2. Delicious and always a hit!!
    This has now been added to our family’s holiday menu.
    Thank you!!

    I have been looking for a recipe for the corn casserole in the crock pot. I am definitely going to make this. It looks delicious!!

  4. I threw this together for a work potluck. I didn’t have cheddar cheese so substituted with Colby jack. It was a huge hit, and I was asked for the recipe!

    1. I put all the ingredients in the crockpot before work, plugged it in and let it cook on low until time for potluck and it was perfect. I think if you were to cook it ahead of time and tried to re heat it you may end up burning the edges.

    This was delicious. I made it today. I followed the recipe exactly except when I opened my sour cream I discovered it was old, so I substituted some whole milk ricotta that I had. This tastes a lot like the frozen Stouffer corn soufflé that isn’t sold in my area of the US anymore. My daughter and I loved that.

  6. I lost my old recipe and so tried this one. We followed some of the options… specifically, we added the can of drained green chiles, substituted half the sour cream with 4 oz. cream cheese, and half of the cheddar for pepper jack cheese. It was amazing. The chiles and cheese added a touch of heat, but not so much that my wimpy kids wouldn’t eat it (which means it was still quite mild, but flavorful). You could probably add even more heat and it would still be good. Overall this was an improvement over my old, plainer recipe (which I also thought was good). So tasty.

  7. I started making this recipe back in the late 80’s. I always got compliments on it. It’s such an easy recipe. And tastes oh so good. I lost my recipe. Then fortunately I found this one. Thank you

    If you double recipe does it fit in a 6 qt slow cooker? How do I adjust the cook time?
