Cheesy Corn Dip – a delicious hot dip with jalapeno, corn, bacon, and plenty of cheese! Comes together in minutes, and perfect for snacking or entertaining!
Do you have a dish that you are known for? Like if you are invited to a party or have friends over, everyone expects it. Maybe it is your Perfect Chocolate Chips Cookies that you bring everywhere.
For me it is a couple of things. My husband says I have a one track mind when it comes to dessert, and Skillet Cookie is the only thing I want to make or eat when we entertain. The other thing is this corn dip. I made it pretty much every time I have to take an appetizer to a get together. And it disappears every time.
This cheesy hot corn dip is a hit with kids and adults alike. Every time I show up with my little red crock pot my friends ask if I made the corn dip recipe. So yeah, I have become known for it. With football season in the air, it is the perfect tailgating and game day snack to make!
What You’ll Need
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.
- Corn – I always use frozen corn that has been thawed for this recipe
- Jalapeno
- Bacon
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Cheddar Cheese
- Onion Powder
- Garlic Powder
How To Make Cheesy Corn Dip
- Mix Together. In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients together until they are well blended.
- Heat. Place into a baking dish or a small crock pot and spread into an even layer. If you are baking it, bake for about 30 minutes until it is hot and bubbly. If using a crock pot heat on low for about 3 hours until it is nice and hot.
- Serve. This is best served warm with corn chips for dipping.
Recipe Tips
- Make Ahead. This is a great dip to have assembled and ready to just heat up when you are ready. You can mix everything together the day ahead and then just put in the crock pot a few hours before you are ready to serve it or take it with you to the event and heat it up there.
- Corn. I use frozen corn because it is what I always have on hand, but you can use fresh corn you cut off the cob or canned corn. Just make sure to drain if you use canned corn.
- Spicy. This is not a spicy dip with the amount of jalapeno called for. You can taste it, but it isn’t spicy. If you want it spicy you can add more.
Storage
Leftover cheesy corn dip can be store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat you can microwave until it is warmed through or you can heat in the oven or a crockpot if you have a lot of it.
So when you are planning for game day, your next party, or even just hanging out and you want to change up your appetizers try this corn dip. It is a staple in our house and that will not be changing anytime soon.

I went to website but couldn’t find Hawkeye Tailgating Cookbook. Any ideas?
Kathy – I talked to them, and they are creating the cookbook based on the recipes that people submit. So it will be available later. Sorry for the confusion, I didn’t realize that was how it worked.
This is really ahh-mazing! My kids loved it!
