Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream style corn
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits (real or imitation)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño slices, drained and chopped (optional, for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn, cream style corn, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Stir in the bacon bits, chopped green onions, chopped jalapeños (if using), chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings and mix-ins evenly.
  4. Transfer the corn dip mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let the dip cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, Fritos, or crackers.

Notes

  • For a Mexican Street Corn Dip variation, add 1/4 cup of drained Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies) to the mixture before baking.
  • If you prefer a cold corn dip, skip the baking step. Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • You can prepare the entire mixture ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
