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.

Couldn’t get mine to cook. Had it on high for 5 hours and it never firmed up.
If I make this agead of time, what is the best way to reheat?
Can I double the recipe? And if so how long to cook?
Do I have to add the cheese?
No, you do not have to add cheese. I never do. This is the 1st time I’m trying it in the crockpot though. I use the same ingredients in the oven in a casserole dish normally.
How do I modify these ingredients for a 4 quart crock pot?
I have an instant pot with the slow cooker function, so it’s deeper and not as wide as a slow cooker. Would that still work?
Could I mix this up the night before and refrigerate it?
Yes I put it in the crock pot insert and cook it the next day
Made this for our family gathering on Saturday and it was a HUGE hit. Of course I heeded the tip to make it richer by using half the sour cream and adding 4 oz of cream cheese. Super easy to make.
If you wanted to bake it in the oven, how long would it take and what temperature?
Thank you.
I would try 350 for 30 to 40 minutes.
Usually takes closer to an hour.
This looks SO good! I love corn & I can’t wait to try it!
