    Why This Recipe Works

    Every single time I make this cream cheese corn dip recipe for guests, it gets completely demolished. In a good way. Even people who don’t like “spicy” or don’t like corn or don’t like dip literally cannot control themselves when they’re around this stuff.

    This easy slow cooker dip made with a Mexican flair will turn heads at any party or gathering! It is the perfect hot dip appetizer when served with chips and it also works great as a creamy side dish eaten with a fork.

    Either way, the flavors are out of this world delish! It’s a great dish any time of year and for any type of gathering.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Corn dip ingredients on a counter top.

    Frozen corn – Replace frozen with 4 cups sweet corn cut from the cob or canned corn kernels, if desired.

    Bacon – Omit entirely for a more healthy dish or replace with sausage crumbles.

    Green chilies – Omit for a less spicy dish (but the end result is not super spicy with chiles added).

    Sour cream – Replace 1/2 cup sour cream with an equal amount of Greek yogurt for a less fattening dish.

    Cream cheese – Use full fat cream cheese for best results.

    Shredded cheeses – Use no more than 2 cups shredded cheeses, but you may switch out the varieties and amounts of each, if desired. Great options include: pepperjack, cheddar, monterey jack cheese, mozzarella and colby jack cheese.

    How To Make Corn Dip With Cream Cheese

    Step 1

    Recipe Notes

    • Alternative to creating a slow cooker recipe: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a 9×13 baking dish and bake in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the entire dish is heated through.
    • Tortilla chips, corn chips and pretzels are great for dipping!
    • Slice up pieces of naan bread or pita bread to load the corn dip onto.
    • Add a can of diced tomatoes for some tomato flair!
    • Minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder will spruce up this dish.
    • Add to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and/or sliced green or red onions! 
    • Sprinkle lime juice over the top, just before serving.
    • Sprinkle cotija cheese over the top.
    • A little salt and black pepper sprinkled over the top is super delicious!
    • A few tablespoons of taco seasoning mixed in tastes fantastic.

    How To Store Hot Corn Dip

    Allow corn dip to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

      Could this recipe be halved and baked in the oven? If so, do you have suggestions for temp and cook time? Thanks

        Great question Laura. Feel free to halve the recipe. Making it in the oven is simple. Preheat the oven to 350. Combine all your ingredients and add it to a casserole dish. Set it in the oven for 20-30 minutes until heated through. Give it a stir once. Then top with extra cheese or cilantro and serve.

      I’m very new to your site and now that I figured out the best way to print out the recipes, I’m well, going crazy! Old school, I guess…I like to have the recipes at hand (like a cookbook) and so I’ve created a notebook to keep them all in. But, I get so overwhelmed following one link to another and then trying to get back to where I started because I don’t want to miss anything! I love anything corn and can’t wait to try this dip, but with summer approaching, I was wondering if you could use fresh corn off the cob?

        Welcome to Pip and Ebby! I’m so glad you’re here!

        Yes, fresh corn would be fabulous and of course now that it’s in season, I would make it that way too.

        Just so you’re aware, I have a free cooking app new and it’s available to download. It’s easier to follow a recipe and screen shot them as you’re cooking in the kitchen. I still don’t have a print function there but there’s a voice recorded option too. I hope you check that out! https://pipandebby.app.link/9NdXIbv34L
