I stole this recipe for Scalloped Tomatoes and Corn from a cookbook called Crock-Pot® 5 Ingredients or Less! Dump Meals. Scalloped Tomatoes and Corn sounds weird and it’s not the prettiest dish to look at but it is tasty vegetable dish. Creamed corn, canned tomatoes and crushed crackers go in a slow cooker with some other ingredients. The cracker crumbs puff up while cooking, making this vegetable dish very fluffy. A unique slow cooker side dish! You can serve as is or top with some fresh tomatoes when serving.
Did you know? Americans eat roughly eighteen pounds of tomatoes per person every year, in one form or another.² (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)
Crush saltine or soda crackers to make ¾ cup crumbs.
Pour 1 can (14 ¾ oz) cream-style corn and 1 can (about 14 oz) diced tomatoes into a slow cooker.
Add in cracker crumbs, 1 lightly beaten egg, 2 tsp sugar and ¾ tsp black pepper.
Stir to blend.
Cover; cook on LOW 4 to 6 hours.
Serve by scooping straight out of the slow cooker.

Recipe Notes
I only cooked this for 1 hour, and then I turned it off. The tomatoes were already burning on the edges of the slow cooker. I waited until I was preparing the rest of the dinner, then I put the slow cooker back on for 1 ½ hours. The edges still burned, but at least the bottom didn’t burn. If I would have done the full 4 to 6 hours, I think the whole bottom may have burned. This was a little to much tomato to corn ratio for me and I love tomatoes. If I make this again I would use 2 cans of corn.
