Helpful tips for making Crock Pot Mexican Cornbread Casserole

  • Paper towels spread across the top of the crock pot prevents moisture from dripping down onto the top of the cornbread and will keep it from getting moist. It also helps the casserole cook by preventing extra moisture from dripping down into the casserole adding extra liquid.
  • If using a smaller 6-quart crock pot cooking times will be longer.
  • If using the casserole crock pot cooking times may be shorter.

    This looks so good. I plan on making one in the crock pot for myself and one for a friend recovering from surgery. If I wanted to make this in the oven and not crockpot and in the oven instead how long and what temp?

    Thanks!

      If cooking in the oven this casserole recipe would take about 45 minutes to cook depending on the size of the baking dish. A 9 x 13 pan would cook faster than an 8 x 8 baking pan. Bake at 375 and start checking the center around 30 minutes for the smaller pan to make sure the cornbread is cooked through.
