Slow Cooker Saturdays
Looking for a potluck idea for Memorial Day or the 4th of July? Corn on the cob in the slow cooker?? YES!! This is one of the easiest slow cooker recipes ever, like making “baked” potatoes in the crock-pot. So easy!! It doesn’t even require water! The moisture in the corn covered with the foil helps cook it. I love that you don’t have to hang over a boiling pot of hot water or that you aren’t threaten to be scorched over a barbeque grill. I let my husband do that! I love that you can just fix it, and forget it. And the slow cooker is so forgiving, give or take a few hours, and you are still good to go.
I got a great helper in my Abbie-girl.
Gotta love the cougar blanket! We were enjoying the sun working outside.
Ingredients
- 6 corn on the cob (or more or less. 6 fit nicely, broken in half in my 5.5 quart crock pot)
- 1/2 stick of butter (4 T-or more if needed), melted (try coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 t Italian seasonings
Instructions
- Shuck the corn. I rinsed mine to try to remove more of the silk strands.
- Mix last three ingredients in a small bowl.
- Place corn on foil.
- Drizzle each cob with a spoonful of the buttery mixture.
- Finish wrapping corn in foil and place in slow cooker.
- Cook on low 4 hours or 2 hours on high.
- Enjoy!
The Verdict: I admit that I am not a big corn on the cob fan. But put it together with some butter, Italian seasonings, and garlic, and what a combination! And it’s so easy!!
Have you made other crazy things in the crock-pot?

Yum, totally bookmarking this one
Sandra, It feels almost effortless to do in the crock-pot. I love it!
I’m so trying this!
Wow~ I have never thought about doing corn in the Crock Pot. What a great idea, especially for parties! Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week & come back soon.
totally trying this. making a stew but i figured i would throw in some corn….. i wonder would it be bad to place the foiled corn on top of the meat??? prob not. we shall see what i try.
Hi Camille, Yes, I have double cooked in the crock-pot before! I have put veggies in foil to “steam” them in the last hour of cooking on top of the main meal. I have also added garlic bulbs wrapped in foil in the last couple of hours of cooking. Corn would work as well.
Thanks for joining us at Saturday Dishes ~ Paula
Hi Paula, You are welcome. I love slow cooker dishes!
Are the ears of corn suppose to all lay flat or can you pile them on top of each other?
Hi Ella, You can pile them. Hope that helps, and thanks for visiting!
