The BEST Corn and Macaroni Casserole
The first time I had mac and cheese corn casserole was eons ago at my step-sisters house. It was a staple for her at any of the kids birthday parties for a long time. But, then she stopped making it and man, I missed it!
Being a huge fan of the slow cooker, I knew I had to have a crockpot mac and cheese with corn version that I could whip out any time I needed a hot and easy side dish, so, here I went on the hunt to conquer the best mac and cheese corn casserole on the planet.
This recipe has been crafted and perfected to be the very best crock pot corn casserole recipe that you’ll come across and like I mentioned, it’s easy as easy gets, which is just as amazing, I must say!
I have been asked before: Is this a Crockpot macaroni and corn casserole with Velveeta?
This recipe does use Velveeta and I personally feel like the Velveeta brings so much more to the recipe, as well as a creamier texture than you’d get by not using a cooking cheese similar to Velveeta.
My recipe calls for the smaller box, so it’s not the big one, and it’s fantastic, definitely worth a try!

How do you keep mac and cheese from drying out in a crock pot?
A crock pot should be fine for keeping the mac ‘n’ cheese warm. If the mixture does start to get dry, just add an extra splash of milk to keep it from drying out.
