½cupcooked and crumbled bacon - optional (equals about 3-4 cooked strips)
To serve with: - tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or veggies
Instructions
Blend the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Next add sour cream, and mayonnaise and mix until smooth.
Stir in drained corn, shredded cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. If using, add crumbled bacon and mix until evenly combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. If the dip thickens too much, stir in a little extra sour cream or mayo before serving.
Stir before serving and transfer to a bowl. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping. This dip tastes even better the next day!
Recipe Notes:
Use Softened Cream Cheese – Let it sit at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
Drain Corn Well – Excess liquid can make the dip watery, so drain it completely before adding.
Chill for Best Flavor – The dip needs at least 1 hour in the fridge for the flavors to meld. For even better taste, chill for 2+ hours or overnight.
Adjust Consistency – If the dip thickens too much after chilling, stir in an extra spoonful of sour cream or mayo before serving.
Customize the Spice Level – Add diced jalapeños, cayenne, or a dash of hot sauce if you like a spicy kick.
Make it Lighter – Swap Greek yogurt for the mayo and sour cream for a healthier option.
Storage – Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze, as the dairy may separate.
