    Tips For Making The Best Crack Corn Dip

    How to Make Crack Corn Dip

    Let your creativity shine in this corn dipcrack corn recipe!

    Ingredients In Crack Corn Dip

    Opt for fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor. If using canned corn, be sure to drain it thoroughly before incorporating it into the dip.

    To create the perfect corn dip, it's essential to gather the right ingredients that will bring out the flavors and textures we love. Here are the key components that make up this delectable dish.

    bowls of shredded cheddar cheese, corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, bacon and jalapenos
    • 2 (15 oz) cans of sweet corn kernels - These golden nuggets serve as the foundation of the corn dip, providing a burst of sweetness and satisfying crunch. Be sure to drain them thoroughly before using to avoid excess liquid in your dip.
    • 4 slices of bacon - The addition of bacon takes this corn dip to new heights, infusing it with a smoky and crispy element that tantalizes the taste buds. Cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, then chop it into small pieces to disperse its savory goodness throughout the dip.
    • 1 cup mayonnaise - Mayonnaise brings creaminess and tanginess to the corn dip, lending it a velvety texture and a delightful zing. Incorporate about a cup of mayonnaise into the mixture, adjusting the amount according to your preference for richness and creaminess.
    • 1 cup sour cream - Sour cream is another crucial ingredient that contributes to the lusciousness and smoothness of the dip. Add a cup of sour cream to the mixture, balancing the richness of the mayonnaise with its tangy undertones.
    • 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican Cheese - This cheese variety adds a savory and melty touch to the corn dip, making it irresistibly cheesy and comforting. Use about a cup of Mexican shredded cheese or a blend that includes cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso quesadilla for an authentic taste.
    • 3 scallions - Scallions, also known as green onions, provide a fresh and onion-like flavor that complements the sweetness of the corn. Chop the scallions into small pieces and sprinkle them throughout the dip, adding bursts of freshness and color.
    • 1 jalapeno - For those who enjoy a bit of heat and spice, the jalapeno pepper is a perfect addition. Finely chop the jalapeno, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder heat, and incorporate it into the dip to give it a pleasant kick.
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

    Variations for different spicy peppers

    While traditional Mexican corn includes diced green peppers, we are using jalapenos in our crack corn dip ingredients. And instead of the usual crack corn recipe with cream cheese, we are using only sour cream and mayonnaise.

    Some folks like to make their crack corn dip with Rotel, but we like to shake things up in our cold corn crack dip!

    Tips For Making The Best Crack Corn Dip

    Opt for fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor. If using canned corn, be sure to drain it thoroughly before incorporating it into the dip.

    Go ahead and tweak the seasonings to suit your taste buds. Sprinkle a dash of cayenne pepper for a hint of spiciness or get adventurous with an array of herbs and spices to craft your very own unique flavor concoction.

    How to make Our Easy Crack Corn Dip Recipe

    This is such an easy appetizer recipe to make!

    First we are going to drain the canned sweet corn. Make sure that all of the liquid is drained so that your Crack Corn Dip isn't too soupy.

    Second, we are going to cook the bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium high high heat until it has reached your desired crispiness. Alternately, you can also make this quicker by using precooked bacon!

    Then chop the green onions, the jalapeno, and of course, the cooked bacon. Set these aside.

      I have a similar recipe that I've been making for about 20 years now. Try adding 1 Tbsp Chili Powder and 1 Tbsp Cumin for some Mexican flair. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
