In charge of holiday dinner this year? This slow cooker macaroni and corn casserole is the traditional side of the Midwest! Being in a crockpot, it travels well AND saves precious oven space. It is cheesy, creamy and perfect as a Thanksgiving or Christmas side. It also makes a great side for steak or add protein to make this a weeknight meal!
Having 3 young kids under 5 that are picky as heck most days– it is nice to have this recipe up my sleeve. What kid doesn’t like a cheesy comfort food? It is great to just add it to the crockpot and go.

Substitutions or Variations
- add 1 lb of browned ground beef or cut up smoked sausage to this recipe to make a full meal.

- I have subbed creamed corn for another can of sweet corn again, it still worked well.
