Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 (15.25 ounce) cans whole kernel corn (about 3 cups)
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese or Pepper Jack cheese
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, cubed
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup queso fresco
- ½ lime, juiced (half cut into wedges for garnish)
- Tortilla chips or Fritos corn chips for serving
- 2 tsp Tajin seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Place the canned corn, diced jalapenos, shredded Colby Jack cheese, sour cream, optional Tajin seasoning, and cubed cream cheese into the slow cooker. This combination forms the creamy base of the dip.
- Cook on Low Heat: Turn the slow cooker on low and cook the mixture for 2 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting and blending of flavors.
- Add Bacon and Stir: After cooking, add the cooked and chopped bacon into the dip and stir to combine. Reserve some bacon to sprinkle on top just before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the crockpot and sprinkle the top with chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness. Garnish with lime wedges and reserved bacon pieces.
- Serve with Chips: Serve the warm dip alongside your choice of tortilla chips or Fritos corn chips for dipping.
Notes
- You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapenos or opting for pepper jack cheese for a spicier version.
- For a thicker dip, drain some of the liquid from the canned corn before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Tajin seasoning adds a nice tangy and mildly spicy flavor but is optional depending on your preference.
- Leftover dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a microwave or stovetop pan.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or substitute with vegetarian bacon alternatives.
