What is Spoonbread??
Spoonbread is pretty much just what it sounds like, a spoonable creation that is sort of a cross between bread, savory pudding, and a casserole. In this case, it is what you get when you cross a corn muffin with a warm and wonderful pot of creamed corn.
As its name suggests, it requires a spoon for serving rather than a knife. Bottom line: it is delicious!!
🌽Shopping list
This dish contains pretty basic and easy to find ingredients:
- corn muffin mix - any brand will do
- canned creamed corn
- canned corn
- eggs - beaten
- sour cream
- whipped cream cheese - whipped is easier to combine with other ingredients and will melt more evenly than regular cream cheese.
- melted butter - the microwave is the easiest way to melt, but it can also be done stovetop.
Start by beating eggs together. Add in remaining ingredients. Stir well and pour into slow cooker. Cover, cook, serve! That's it! Doesn't get much easier! Or more delicious!

🍽Serving suggestions
I can't really think of anything you wouldn't want to serve this with! Some really amazing combinations include: 1. BBQ ribs, coleslaw, and baked beans, 2. A juicy steak and steamed broccoli or 3. Meatloaf and a crisp side salad.
😉Hints and Hacks
- Corn spoonbread is a great dish if your people will be eating at different times. After the cooking time, turn your slow cooker to low and everyone can have a warm and filling side dish, no matter what time they are ready to eat.
- Although you probably won't have leftovers, if you do, they reheat really well for future meals!
- This is an easy dish to travel with making it a great pot-luck, office party, shower, etc dish to volunteer to bring (I promise I won't tell anyone how easy it was to make!)
- I always recommend the use of a slow cooker liner. Of course, this is an optional step. I purchase my liners in bulk for a less expensive per-piece price. Here are the liners I buy.
- In the market for a new slow cooker? I love mine!

I know this is for a slow cooker, but do you know if it could be done in a oven if I wanted it faster ? 😊

Hi Melissa,
I am sure it could be done in an oven. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know how long it would take. If you try it, I would love to hear how it goes! Thanks for asking!
