Slow Cooker Corn On The Cob Ingredients

You’ll need:
- 6 ears of fresh uncooked ears of corn on the cob, shucked, and silks removed
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon of fresh cracked black pepper
- 4 tablespoons of salted sweet cream butter (optional garnish)
PRO TIP:
You can substitute frozen ears of corn for the fresh ears of corn in this easy recipe. Allow the corn to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
Substitutions And Additions
SEASONING: There are many different ways to season this easy side dish before cooking. You can squeeze lime juice over the ears of corn, then sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of chili powder and ⅛ teaspoon of cumin. You can prepare the ears of corn as instructed, but add fresh dill and fresh thyme.
For an even spicier alternative, you can spread sriracha or sprinkle red pepper flakes over your ear of corn. You can even sprinkle parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy twist.
How To Make This Crock Pot Corn On the Cob Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
The easy way to get rid of all those pesky bits of silk is to run each piece of corn under cold water to rinse them off.
STEP ONE: Tear 6 sheets of aluminum foil to wrap the ears of corn. Be sure to measure enough to tuck the ends under to make a good seal.
STEP TWO: Place 1 ear of corn at the end of one of the pieces of foil.

STEP THREE: Using a pastry brush, brush the extra virgin olive oil over the surface of the ear of corn. We used about 1½ to 2 teaspoons on each ear of corn.

STEP FOUR: Sprinkle the kosher salt over the coated corn cobs. We sprinkled 1 teaspoon over each ear of corn.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle the fresh cracked black pepper on top of the kosher salt. We used ½ teaspoon on each ear of corn.
STEP SIX: Roll the prepared ear of corn in the piece of foil. Once rolled, tuck the ends under to form a seal.

STEP SEVEN: Place the rolled ears of corn in the bottom of the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes. The ears of corn should be bright yellow. Garnish with 2 teaspoons of salted sweet cream butter per ear of cooked corn, if you choose.
PRO TIP:
Each crockpot cooks differently. You can check after the corn has been cooking for 3 hours to see the progress. If the corn has finished cooking at 3 hours, set the temperature to “keep warm” until you are ready to serve.
