Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Sweet corn kernels (canned, drained, or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup Creamed corn (canned)
- 8 ounces Corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy)
- 1 stick Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 whole Jalapeños (finely chopped)
- 2 whole Eggs (lightly beaten)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare a slow cooker by lightly spraying the interior with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with a slow cooker liner.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, creamed corn, corn muffin mix, melted butter, sour cream, and lightly beaten eggs. Mix well until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapeños, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the casserole is set and the edges are golden brown.
Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the lid. Check the casserole by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean when done.
Optional: Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top and allow it to melt for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, then serve warm directly from the slow cooker.
