Bacon Corn Dip
This dip is unbelievably creamy and addicting. It’s so good, you’ll want to just skip the chips and eat this with a spoon!
If it came down to it, I could live off of this dip for the rest of my life. It’s amazingly creamy, has plenty of veggies, and best of all, it has bacon. Crisp, crunchy bacon bits sprinkled right on top. What more could you ask for?
No, but really, this dip has everything you could possibly need, using up ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Best of all, you can make this ahead of time and reheat as needed. Just be sure to put aside some extra bacon because, well, some people like myself may have a bad habit of eating those first.
Now pass me a spoon, please. The chips will just get in the way!
Bacon Corn Dip
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 3 cups corn kernels, frozen, canned or roasted
- ½ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced, optional
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 2 tablespoons milk, or more, to taste
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar, or more, to taste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon.
- Add corn, onion, bell pepper and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese and milk until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
