Instructions
Grease the inside of your Crock Pot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped spinach, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, and optional sweet corn if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared Crock Pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Turn off the Crock Pot and let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this cheesy, savory cornbread as a side dish or snack!
