Last year I made the oven-baked version of this corn pudding side dish for the family.  It turned out delicious, but occupied precious oven space for FAR too long & it seemed to take forever to bake completely.  






Dinner was literally stalled by almost 20 minutes because this darn corn pudding refused to set in the middle! 






Even though it was a royal pain, it was agreed by all that this needed to become an essential side dish for every Thanksgiving dinner from that day forward.
So a couple of weeks ago, I started researching online some alternative ways to make this family fave.  






My first search was for slow cooker versions- shocking, right? ;) 









I found one or two I could base my recipe on, and then ran a slow-cooked trial run and the results were delicious!






Just as good as last year's version (maybe even better?), but sans the use of the oven.  Score!






For those who may be wondering, this is my copycat version of a popular side dish from one our utmost fave barbecue joints, City Barbecue.  My Ohio, Kentucky, & Indianapolis peeps probably know where it is I am referring to. ;) 






When I lived in Columbus, this was THE ONE place my parents had to eat at when they would come to visit.
