Slow Cooker Crock-Pot Butter Corn
Hi Everyone, As a mom of 2 kids under 6, I have a strong appreciation for recipes that are so stupidly simple.
This recipe is not going to win awards for super creative but let me tell you, if it’s between your picky eater, eating dinner, or not eating dinner at all – it’s worth its weight in gold!
Moms out there, ya feel me?
Kids aside, there’s merit to having a very simple and simply-seasoned dish (a simple alternative to a creamed corn-style dish) when you have a spread of elaborate dishes like you would at say Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas, etc.
It’s refreshing!

Slow Cooker Crock-Pot Butter Corn
Slow Cooker Crock-Pot Butter Corn is the easiest side dish you could possibly have for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holiday gatherings, or any dinner. All you need is frozen corn, unsalted butter, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. This side dish is also a kid-friendly favorite recipe!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs frozen white sweet corn (or your favorite variety)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, amount to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper medley, amount to taste
- 1 teaspoon seasoning mix of choice, amount to taste *I have used “Badia Complete Season” seasoning with success
- 2-4 cups water
Instructions
- In your slow cooker, put frozen corn, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, salt, pepper, optional seasoning, and 2-4 cups water. I usually add just 2 and keep stirring to combine but you may want more "sauce" in your dish. Adjust heat to high and cover.
- After 15-20 minutes, when the butter starts to melt, stir to combine the ingredients. Cover and continue cooking. Stir periodically.
- When all ingredients are completely defrosted, completely combined, and hot, it is ready to serve. Enjoy!

Approximate time it will take to totally defrost and be ready to serve hot??? I’ve never done it in a slow cooker before and want to try it today.
Hi Rita, Thank you for your question, sorry I am just seeing this now; it should take between 1-2 hours it should be ready, definitely by 2, depending on your slow cooker. Make sure to stir it occasionally. Let us know how it works out!
This time info should definitely be in the original post!!!
i’d like to cook this at home and bring the crockpot to a potluck party. Will the corn hold on warm setting in the crockpot for a couple of hours without turning mushy or???
It should, just make sure to stir it and you may need to add more moisture (water) if it’s getting dry. Make sure to keep the lid on to keep the heat and moisture in. Thank you for your question!
