    Why This Recipe Works

    • Every single time I make this cream cheese corn dip recipe for guests, it gets completely demolished.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 it.
    • It’s such an easy appetizer, made with just a handful of simple ingredients. 
    • It is a great appetizer when served with chips and it also works great as a creamy side dish eaten with a fork.
    • The flavors are out of this world delish! It is hands-down the best corn dip you’ll ever eat.
    • It’s a great dish any time of year and for any type of gathering.
    • This delicious dip works year round. It is a great option for summer parties, but acts as the perfect game day appetizer, as well.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Corn dip ingredients on a counter top.

    Corn – Replace frozen corn with 4 cups sweet corn cut from the cob or 2 cans of corn kernels. Fresh corn on the cob that has been grilled tastes amazing in this recipe!

    Using the blended white and golden canned corn offers a delicious sweetness mixed in with the spicy heat.

    Bacon – Omit entirely for a less meaty dish or replace with ground sausage crumbles.

    Green chilies – Omit for a less spicy dish (but the end result is still not super spicy when chiles are 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 regular cream cheese for best results.

    Shredded cheese – Use no more than 2 cups shredded cheeses, but you may change up the varieties and amounts of each. 

    Here are some great types of cheeses to consider: sharp cheddar cheese, pepperjack, monterey jack cheese, provolone, mozzarella and colby jack.

    Freshly grated cheese is better for melting into the dip than the pre-shredded. When possible, do your own shredding.

    Toppings – Fresh cilantro makes the perfect topping for this dish, but here are a few other options: Extra mozzarella cheese, a dollop of sour cream, green onions or chives.

    How To Make Corn Dip With Cream Cheese

    Step 1

    In a 6-quart crock pot, combine the corn, bacon, chilies, 1/2 cup sour cream, pepper jack, 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 baking dish or serving bowl when ready to serve. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve warm as a side dish or serve with tortilla chips or crackers as an appetizer!

    • Add a can of diced tomatoes for some tomato flair.
    • A can of black beans adds nice color and an incredible depth of flavor.
    • Fresh minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or garlic salt will spruce up this dish.
    • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions or red onions. 
    • Sprinkle cotija cheese over the top for an added flavor boost.
    • A little salt and black pepper sprinkled over the top is super delicious!
    • A few tablespoons of taco seasoning mixed in tastes fantastic.
    • Add chopped green or red bell peppers or chopped spinach.
    • For extra heat, add 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, a splash of hot sauce or diced fresh jalapeños.

    What To Dip in Corn Dip

    • Tortilla chips
    • Corn chips 
    • Pretzels
    • Pieces of naan bread 
    • Pita bread
    • Celery sticks
    • Carrot sticks
    • Bell pepper strips

    How To Make Corn Dip In The Oven

    You can easily make this creamy corn dip in the oven, if desired. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a greased 9×13 baking dish and bake in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.

    How To Store Dip

    Allow this cheesy corn dip to cool to room temperature, then store leftovers in an airtight container or in a container covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to five days.

    Can You Freeze Corn Dip

    If you have leftover corn dip that contains sour cream, it is safe to freeze and enjoy later but its texture and consistency may change after being thawed. Freeze in airtight storage containers for up to 4 months for best results. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to eat.

      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
