  2. Step 2: Spray a 4-quart casserole crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Tips & Variations

  • For a milder version, reduce the jalapenos or omit them entirely.
  • Adding shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese before cooking adds a delicious cheesy layer.
  • To add more texture, sprinkle crushed crackers or breadcrumbs on top during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the casserole in a covered dish at 350°F until heated through.

FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the ingredients and refrigerate the batter overnight, then cook it in the slow cooker the next day.

Can I use fresh corn instead of canned?

Fresh corn can be used but will add extra moisture. Drain well and consider reducing the milk slightly to keep the consistency right.
