Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob shucked and cleaned
- 4 tablespoons butter softened to room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Tear 4 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around an ear of corn
- Place each ear of corn on a piece of foil
- Mix butter, lime juice, and spices in a small bowl
- Spread mixture over each piece of corn, applying evenly to each ear
- Wrap corn in foil and twist end tightly to keep butter from leaking out
- Place corn in slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours or until corn is cooked to your liking
- Remove foil and serve with extra lime and chopped cilantro if desired
Notes
- Remove foil and store leftover corn on the cob in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, or lightly toast in the oven or an air fryer.
- Simply add salt and butter if you’d prefer plain corn on the cob.
- I used a 3.5 quart oval crockpot and it fit 4 ears of corn perfectly. This would be easy to double the recipe in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
