Ingredients
- 15 oz can sweet corn kernels drained
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 3 scallions chopped
- 1 jalapeño chopped
- ½ tsp black pepper adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Drain the Corn: Start by thoroughly draining the corn. This step is crucial to avoid a watery dip and ensure a rich, creamy consistency.
- Cook the Bacon: Crisp up the bacon in a skillet to your preferred level of doneness. Once done, chop it into small bits—but try not to snack on too much before it goes into the dip!
- Prep the Scallions and Jalapeño: Chop the scallions and jalapeño finely. If you prefer a spicier dip, leave the seeds in the jalapeño. For a milder version, remove the seeds.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine the drained corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped bacon, scallions, jalapeño, and seasonings (black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder). Mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a creamy, uniform consistency.
- Chill the Dip: Refrigerate the dip until you’re ready to serve. Allowing it to chill enhances the flavors and gives them time to meld beautifully.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pair the dip with tortilla chips and get ready to dig in! Pro tip: The dip tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
