Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
