Ingredients You’ll Need:
How to Make This Easy Corn Dip
Step 1: Drain the Corn
Open those cans and drain the corn well. You don’t want any extra liquid making your dip runny. Set the corn aside while you prep the rest.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Crispy bacon is key here, it adds that irresistible crunch! Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel to soak up excess grease, then chop it into small pieces.
Step 3: Chop the Fresh Ingredients
While the bacon is cooling, chop up your scallions and jalapeño. If you like your dip on the milder side, remove the jalapeño seeds before dicing. If you love a little heat, leave them in!
Step 4: Mix Everything Together
Grab a medium-to-large mixing bowl and add the drained corn, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, chopped bacon, scallions, jalapeño, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 5: Chill Until Ready to Serve
For best results, pop the dip in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend together beautifully. But if you’re short on time, you can dig in right away, no one will complain!
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Scoop up this deliciousness with tortilla chips and watch it disappear. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can garnish with more chopped scallions or even a sprinkle of extra cheese.
Pro Tips for the Best Corn Dip:
- Use Fresh Corn (If You Have It!) – If it’s summer and you’ve got fresh corn on hand, by all means, use it! Just cut it off the cob and give it a quick sauté before mixing it into the dip.
- Make It Ahead of Time – This dip gets even better after a few hours in the fridge, so feel free to prep it earlier in the day.
- Add a Squeeze of Lime – A little fresh lime juice can brighten up the flavors even more.
- Switch Up the Cheese – Try pepper jack for extra spice or sharp cheddar for a richer flavor.
- Want It Hot? – Throw in some diced pickled jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
What to Serve with This Creamy Corn Dip:
- Tortilla Chips – The classic choice and for good reason.
- Fritos Scoops – A sturdy chip that holds up well.
- Sliced Veggies – If you want a lighter option, celery and bell pepper strips work great.
- Pita Chips – Adds a slightly different crunch and flavor.
Leftovers? Here’s What to Do:
If by some miracle you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again. You can even spread it on a tortilla, roll it up, and make a delicious wrap!
This Corn Dip is proof that the best party snacks don’t have to be complicated. It’s creamy, crunchy, a little spicy, and totally irresistible. Whether you’re making it for a big celebration or a simple family night, this dip is bound to be a hit.
