Tips For Making Bacon Corn Dip

• Make sure all the liquid is drained from the corn, otherwise, your dip will be too watery.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeno or black pepper depending on how spicy you like it!
• Switch regular jalapenos for pickled jalapeños if you prefer.
• If you’re looking for a healthier version of this dip, substitute low-fat mayonnaise and sour cream.
• If you don’t eat bacon try switching the bacon to turkey bacon.
• You can add extra ingredients to the fresh corn such as green onions or diced red bell peppers.

Best Cheese For Corn Dip?

In this dip we use shredded cheddar cheese, however, you can use a variety of cheeses from mozzarella cheese to parmesan cheese.

Some of my favourite flavor cheeses include pepper jack cheese, Monterey jack cheese and even cream cheese.

Can I Use Cream Cheese Instead Of Sour Cream?

Yes, you can! Cream cheese is a great substitute for sour cream and adds an extra layer of flavor to this dip.

Just make sure it’s full-fat cream cheese – otherwise, your dip won’t be as creamy. You can also mix and match different cheeses as suggested above.

Once you have made your bacon corn dip, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

To reheat, pop the dip into a baking dish and warm in the microwave for one minute.

Frozen corn and canned corn both work well for corn dip. You can use regular frozen corn, regualar fresh corn or even canned Mexican corn for this bacon corn dip recipe.
