Savory Salsa Corn Bread

2 boxes corn muffin mix, (8 oz each)
1 can creamed corn, (15 ounce)
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can chopped green chiles, (4 ounces) undrained
2 tablespoons soft butter
3 to 4 Tbs chunky salsa

In a medium bowl, combine creamed corn, eggs, sour cream,
chiles, and butter. Whisk together until well combined.
Add corn muffin mix, stirring well to combine. Generously
grease your crockpot with butter. Pour batter into
crockpot. Spoon salsa over the top and cut into the
batter. Cover and cook on high for about 2 1/2 hours.
Turn heat off and let cool with lid ajar, for about 15
minutes. Loosen sides with a knife and invert onto a
large plate. If a little of the top sticks to the bottom
of the pot, dollop a little salsa on the top, or decorate
with sour cream and chopped green onion. Delicious side
dish!

*** How do I DEglaze a skillet with butter?
So HOW do I do it? Just smear butter all over the skillet?

Yes -- just melt about a tablespoon butter and scrape all the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan
