Main Ingredients
- 2 (15.25 ounce) cans (3 cups) whole kernel corn
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese or pepper jack cheese (for extra kick)
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, cubed
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup queso fresco
- 1 lime, half juiced and half cut into wedges
- Tortilla chips or Fritos corn chips, for serving
- 2 tsp Tajin seasoning (optional)
- Combine Base Ingredients: Place the canned corn (drained), diced jalapenos, shredded Colby Jack cheese, sour cream, optional Tajin seasoning, and cubed cream cheese into the slow cooker.
- Slow Cook: Turn the slow cooker to low heat and cook the mixture for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to help the cheeses melt evenly and the flavors blend.
- Add Bacon: Once the dip is heated through and creamy, stir in most of the cooked and chopped bacon, reserving some for garnishing on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Spoon the dip into a serving dish, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Top with the reserved bacon pieces.
- Accompany with Chips: Serve the dip warm alongside your choice of tortilla chips or Fritos corn chips for dipping.
Notes
- To adjust the heat, keep or remove the jalapeno seeds according to your spice preference.
- Tajin seasoning adds a tangy, chili-lime flavor but can be omitted if unavailable or not desired.
- Bacon can be substituted with vegetarian bacon for a meatless variation.
- Make sure to occasionally stir the dip during cooking to prevent burning or sticking to the slow cooker.
- Use pepper jack cheese instead of Colby Jack for a spicier version.
- This dip can be kept warm in the slow cooker on the ‘keep warm’ setting if serving over a longer period.
