Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) can sweet corn kernels
4 slices bacon cooked
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Mexican cheese shredded
3 individual scallions
1 whole jalapeno
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Drain the corn. Chop the scallions, jalapeno, and cooked bacon.
Add the corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon, scallions, jalapeno, and seasoning to a medium mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate until ready for serving with tortilla chips or your favorite dipper.

Notes

Drain the corn thoroughly to avoid the dip from becoming watery. Pat the kernels dry with a paper towel for the best texture.
Let your sour cream, mayo, and cheese sit out for 10 to 15 minutes before mixing to make blending smoother.
Scallions, jalapeños, and bacon bits should be evenly chopped for balanced flavor in every bite.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the flavors meld together. Overnight is even better!
The cold dulls flavors. Taste your dip again before serving and adjust salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
If you prefer a warm dip, bake the dip in an oven-safe dish until bubbly. Add extra cheese on top for that melty, golden finish.

Serve: Serve creamy corn dip with tortilla chips, corn chips, or pita chips for a classic combo, or go lighter with fresh veggie sticks like bell pepper strips, cucumber rounds, or celery. Spoon it into warm tortillas for a quick taco-style snack, serve it alongside grilled meats, burgers, or hot dogs, or set it out with other dips for a full-on dip spread!

Store: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days. Do not freeze. To reheat and enjoy warm, bake at 350 F until warmed through and bubbly.
