How To Make Crock Pot Corn on the Cob

I cut the corn on the cob either in half or into thirds, add it to the crock pot with a can of coconut milk, 1 cup water, half a stick of butter, seasoned salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

The sugars in the coconut milk enhance the sweetness of the corn and really bring out its flavor.

And butter always makes anything taste better.

The corn needs about two hours on HIGH in the slow cooker.

I’ve tried this recipe with both fresh and frozen corn on the cob and I like fresh much better. But you can definitely use frozen corn if that is what you have.

Storage

Leftovers will keep for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator. You can cut the kernels off the cob and add to soups or salads.
