Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn, husked
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Corn: Husk the corn and remove all silk strands to ensure a clean and fresh corn ready for cooking.
  2. Place in Crockpot: Arrange the husked ears of corn evenly inside the crockpot to allow uniform cooking.
  3. Add Butter and Season: Place 1/2 cup butter evenly on top of the corn and sprinkle salt to taste over the ears for seasoning.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4 hours to achieve tender, flavorful corn.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the corn from the crockpot, serve warm, and enjoy as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add herbs like parsley or a squeeze of lime before serving.
  • If you prefer less rich butter taste, reduce butter quantity to 1/4 cup accordingly.
  • Add a dash of black pepper or paprika for a subtle kick.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the crockpot; the corn should be in a single layer for even cooking.
  • This method is ideal for fresh corn; frozen corn on the cob is not recommended for crockpot cooking time and texture.
