Every single time I make this Hot 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 literally cannot control themselves when they’re around this stuff.
It acts as a great party dip, alongside chips or crackers or even veggies! It can also act as a creamy side dish for any meal. It’s a multi-purpose recipe!
HOW TO MAKE HOT CORN DIP IN A CROCK POT
This easy slow cooker dip 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, YUM! Great any time of year and for any type of gathering.
STEP 1
In a 6-quart crock pot, combine the corn, bacon, chilies, 1/2 cup sour cream, pepperjack, cheddar, the cubed cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir, cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours, stirring once or twice throughout.
STEP 2
Cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes and spread the mixture into a casserole dish to serve. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve warm as a side dish or serve with tortilla chips or crackers as an appetizer!

RECIPE NOTES: HOT CORN DIP
- 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.
- Make sure to create a Grapefruit Lime Margaritas to serve your guests. Switch up the standard margarita by replacing sweet and sour mix with fresh citrus juice!
- Another great easy-to-prepare drink are succulent Salty Dogs – Vodka and grapefruit juice come together to make a great team! This alcoholic drink is irresistible and a great sipper for sitting on the deck.
- Add a can of diced tomatoes for some tomato flair!
- Add to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and/or sliced green onions!
HOW LONG WILL HOT CORN DIP LAST?
Once you have served your corn dip, place any remainders in an air-tight container and place it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Because this dip has dairy in it, it is not recommended for freezing.
EASY VARIATIONS TO THIS DISH
- Using the blended white and golden corn offers a delicious sweetness mixed in with the spicy heat.
- Add diced bell peppers or chopped spinach.
- Sprinkle sliced green onions on the top before serving.
- For extra heat, add a 1/2 teaspoon chili powder at a time or 1 freshly diced jalapeno.
- Monterey Jack Cheese and cheddar cheese are just as delicious options in this recipe if you don’t have Pepper Jack cheese on hand.
- Remember! Freshly grated cheese is better for melting into the dip than the pre-shredded. So if you can, shred it yourself!
- Instead of using frozen corn from the freezer section, try grilling your fresh corn on the cob and cut if off the cob for a delicious fresh addition to your hot corn dip.

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
