Ingredients

Scale

Corn & Cornbread Base

30 ounces canned or frozen whole corn kernels (drained)
2 (14.5 ounce) cans creamed corn
2 (8-ounce) packages cornbread mix (such as Jiffy corn muffin mix)

Dairy & Eggs

8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 stick unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
3 eggs

Seasonings & Toppings

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray your slow cooker thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the casserole from sticking during cooking.
Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add the drained whole corn kernels, creamed corn, cornbread mix, sour cream, cream cheese, butter pieces, eggs, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to fully combine all ingredients into a consistent mixture.
Cook the Casserole: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4 hours. Approximately 15 minutes before the cooking time ends, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top and replace the lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Rest Before Serving: After cooking, uncover the slow cooker and let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving, allowing it to set and cool slightly for best texture.

Notes

Use either canned or frozen whole corn kernels, but make sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
For a sharper flavor, substitute or add extra cheddar or pepper jack cheese as desired.
Do not open the slow cooker lid during the majority of the cooking time to maintain even heat and proper cooking.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as a vegetarian main if you omit any meat sides.
