Corn Bread Baked in a Slow Cooker
It has always fascinated me that you can bake in a slow cooker. It seems contradictory but, in essence it's the ideal environment to make and bake moist breads and cakes. While the corn bread will become golden and crispy around the edges and the bottom, the slow cooker doesn't brown the top as you might expect it to do in a conventional oven. In the case of this corn bread it works perfectly, keeping the texture nice and tender. Serve it warm with butter and honey or smothered with pinto beans or chili, either way slow cooker corn bread is so easy you'll want to make it again and again.

After baking, serve this corn bread warm with butter and honey or smothered with pinto beans.

Could this cornbread be cooled down, turned upside down, and popped into a platter? Thanks!
Melissa
Yes, it can.
Mary
Can this be made without the sugar? Love using my crockpot for making suppertime easier. Thanks.
Melissa
I make this recipe just as it's written so, I can't attest to how it would turn out making that change. If you try it let me know how it goes.

what is 2 cups self-rising yellow corn meal
in SA we have Mielie Meal which is a type of flour
Melissa
I've had mielie meal and if it has leavening in it (Baking powder and salt) you likely could adapt this recipe using it.

Cannot find self-rising yellow corn meal. How do I compensate? Thank you.
Melissa
Add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder plus 1/2 tsp salt per cup of cornmeal. (Yes, still use the 1/2 tsp salt called for in the recipe)
