Just a note to say this was a HUGE hit at a holiday party I attended tonight. I doubled the recipe. So easy to make! I used Tostitos Scoops, but I bet Fritos Scoops would also be good. As would those little toasts they sell for appetizers. Thank you for this recipe! Everyone asked for a copy
why make corn dip in the slow cooker
- Set it and forget it. This is truly one of those no fuss recipes where you can let the slow cooker do its job – so much hands-off time and convenient cooking here.
- Perfect for feeding a large crowd. With its even, gentle heat, the crockpot is such a great vessel for big batch dips – it is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and perfect for game day, holiday parties and large gatherings.
tips and tricks for success
- Use canned corn. Frozen, roasted or canned corn will all work very well here, but canned corn is even more convenient and available all-year round, especially when fresh corn is not in season. 3 cans (drained) corn will do the trick here!
- Add more heat. For more heat, leave the seeds and membranes of the jalapenos or add an additional jalapeno. Skip completely for mild flavor. And always avoid touching your eyes and nose when handling jalapeno peppers.
- Mix it up. Swap the plain cream cheese for chive and onion cream cheese, or use Parmesan in place of cotija.
- Add garnishes. Garnishes are always optional but a fresh sprinkle of cilantro or some crispy bacon will certainly take your dip to the next level, adding more flavor, texture and contrast.

Um…this looks INCREDIBLE! I made my poor husband go to the store tonight (2 days before Christmas) and buy all the ingredients so I could bring it to our Christmas Eve festivities! But…I’m 12 weeks pregnant so I’m hoping I don’t eat it all before it leaves the house!
Big hit at Christmas party. Doubled the recipe. Didn’t have enough parmeson but it was still delish!
Thinking cook bacon -throw all together am at work -should work for 1130 party

Linda, what size crock pot did you use? Thank you!
I love corn food. I could live off snack and this dip looks awesome and authentic.Thanks
Does anyone know about how many this recipe serves? I need to make it for a group of about 30 and am wondering if I should double the recipe!? Please help!
Lauren, this recipe yields about 6-8 servings.
How much is each serving? Can this serve a big party of 20+ or do you suggest doubling it?
I recommend doubling or tripling as needed.
Do we have to change how long to cook it then!
Yes.
How about subbing a drained 4-oz. can of diced green chilies for the jalapeños?
That sounds amazing! I should actually try that next time 🙂
Thank you for your prompt response! I’m going to try this on Friday!
Did you try this with the chilies? Was it good?
This is the best dip I’ve ever made. Sweet corn, spicy japalenos and pepper jack…. My new “last meal”! Thanks for the GREAT recipe.
I’ve made this three times now and it has been a huge hit each time! I have to admit that I don’t exactly *measure* the cheese and throw in a little extra! ;o) And I’ve been too lazy to do the bacon, which I’m sure sends it over the top…but it’s seriously so good as is! Thanks for the recipe – it’s a keeper for sure!
How long would this stay good? like how long could you keep it with it out going off?
This can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.

That looks AMAZING. I need to plan a party so I can make this for my friends!
I’m thinking that frozen corn can be used it it’s pan fried a bit first to draw out the extra moisture. Can’t wait to try this recipe!! Love this site!!!
Hi there! I see this recipe yields 6 servings, but I’m not seeing a serving size. I plan on making this for a party and wanted to make sure I have enough.
Giana, I don’t have an exact measurement of how much each serving size is. Please use your best judgement on serving for a party – this recipe is very easy to double or even triple.

I was wondering what size crock pot everyone used. I just bought a new in box 2 qt. (small) at a Goodwill store and I have a regular sized one–oval probably 5-6 qt. size. I would love to use my small one, but don’t know how much this actually yields. Any help in crockpot size would be much appreciated.
Nancy, I recommend using the larger slow cooker. You can also halve the recipe if you would like to use the smaller one.
I made this for a baby shower on the weekend and everyone LOVED it. It was so easy and delicious. Leftovers were consumed by my husband as a side dish.
