Crockpot Corn Casserole Recipe
Sooooo I have a Thanksgiving confession. I stink at making a Thanksgiving Turkey. So if you ever come to my house for the Thanksgiving holiday, I hope that you’re bringing the bird 🙂
However, I do make a MEAN Thanksgiving side dish. My secret? The good ole crock pot and a little help from my freezer. So today I’m sharing my Make Ahead Crockpot Corn Casserole Recipe. These slow simmering sweet corn flavors can be made ahead of the big Thanksgiving Day for a delicious vegetarian friendly comfort food side with crunchy topping. Mouth. Salivating. So grab your recipe for this easy Thanksgiving side dish and lots of Thanksgiving Prep Tips!
While Turkey, Stuffing and Mashed Potatoes seem to get the spotlight on Thanksgiving, the veggies really make the meal. Seriously. And a great corn casserole always comes to mind. Slow simmered flavors and the sweetness of corn with a buttery crunch topping….oh, delicious perfection.
This super EASY corn casserole can be slow simmered, frozen and then finished on Turkey Day for a side dish that will have people wondering how you had the time to slave over this one. Shhhh…don’t share our secret 🙂
Thanksgiving Prep Tips
Thanksgiving Meal Prep can definitely give you an ulcer before the biggest eating day of the year. All of the planning, the cooking, the organization, the clean up, it’s overwhelming. That’s why I love getting everyone’s Thanksgiving Prep Tips.
The secret to a perfectly crumbly corn casserole topping is all in the way you crush the crackers. I crush mine in these awesome Hefty Slider Storage Bags. I love any dish that allows me to take out some aggression, right?! No crumb stands a chance of leaking out of here, plus I can get an nicely even crush for crispy perfection!
Then when all of the “exhausting” cooking has been completed, store your casserole in the freezer with these Hefty Slider Freezer Bags. LOVE these things! No leaks, no freezer burn and easily thawed in the fridge to complete your side dish like a pro. Bam, take that Thanksgiving!

This recipe looks delicious. I have never tried a corn casserole before. We usually make a green bean and sweet potato casserole, but we may have to try this before Christmas. We don’t have the ingredients on hand to make it for tomorrow, but might make it for Christmas dinner. Thanks for sharing!
