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.
Slow Cooker Corn and Jalapeno Dip: Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! For mild flavors, skip the jalapenos or substitute a can of mild diced green chiles.
Tortilla chips, corn chips or raw veggies like bell peppers, carrots and celery are all great options.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
We do not recommend freezing as it will separate when frozen.

I would be in MAJOR trouble with this…..
Thank you for the nice recipe. Have a Wonderful Weekend!
We are having a Mexican Fiesta at church Sunday night so this will go great! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
This looks amazing! What size crock did you use? I have a 3 qt and a 5 qt….
I need to know the same thing!!!
Either size will work!
Would it fit in a 1.5 quart??
It may be a little too small.
1.5 is too small (ask me how I know lol) If you cut the recipe down by a third it would likely fit. Or do what I do – Mix it in a bowl, transfer what fits comfortably, and then pop the rest in the fridge so you have some left over for yourself once the guests leave
Who knew bacon and corn could be so damn delicious looking? (see what I did there. Cheesy? yep.)
But, not as cheesy as this dip looks….3 kinds of cheesy plus corn plus bacon AND spice? I love you. And this. Pinned!
It’s your creamed corn and your jalepeno popper pizza merged into one, in dip form! LOVE it! And it’s so you. The recipe, the images and lighting, gosh so so pretty!
This looks damn delicious – sorry I had to do that 🙂
This recipe looks amazing! Love slow cooker recipes 🙂
