Rival Crock Pot Magic

Our family loves corn on the cob, but was bored one day with the “normal” preparation. I decided to do something different and came up with this using my Rival Crock Pot. It turned put so good we gave it our “pearl necklace” award, which is a family term for REALLY good food!

¾ cup butter softened
4-5 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
4-5 ears of corn, husked and rinsed


Mix butter, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
Place an ear of corn on a piece of foil, lather corn with mixture and roll up in foil. Repeat for each additional ear of corn. Place corn in crock-pot and add enough water to cover ¼ of each piece of corn. Cover, and cook on high 2 to 2 ½ hours.

On a recent trip to see my Dad and Step mom all my brother could talk about was this tamale pie.  After a few bites I could see why!  You may want to consider serving it with tortilla chips and sour cream.


2 lbs ground beef
2 frozen beef tamales
1 large onion, chopped
3 cans whole corn
3 can tomato sauce
1 16 slice package American cheese, sliced or cubed

Brown the meat and onion together, and then drain. Place meat in your Rival crock-pot or other slow cooker; add the corn and tomato sauce. Stir. Chop up the tamales and add to crock-pot. Cut up and add cheese. Stir. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
