How to Make Crockpot Corn Dip
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by draining the whole kernel corn from the cans. Seed and finely dice the jalapeños to control the heat level of your dip.
- Combine in Slow Cooker: In your slow cooker, add the drained corn, diced jalapeños, shredded pepper jack cheese, sour cream, and softened cream cheese. Use a spatula to mix everything together until well combined.
- Add Bacon and Cilantro: Stir in the cooked and chopped bacon along with the chopped cilantro. These ingredients add a wonderful depth of flavor and a bit of crunch to the dip.
- Cook the Dip: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Let the dip cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is evenly heated and creamy.
- Finish with Queso Fresco and Lime: Once the dip is heated through and creamy, sprinkle the queso fresco on top. Squeeze fresh lime wedges over the dip to add a zesty kick.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or leave it in the slow cooker for easy serving. Accompany with plenty of tortilla chips for dipping and enjoy!
Tips and Notes
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a spicier dip, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to substitute pepper jack with cheddar or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
- Make Ahead: This dip can be prepared a few hours in advance. Simply reheat it in the slow cooker before serving.
- Vegetarian Option: Omit the bacon and add extra corn or a plant-based bacon alternative for a vegetarian version.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair this creamy corn dip with fresh vegetables like celery sticks, bell pepper strips, or even crispy pita chips for a variety of textures.
