Crockpot Jalapeno Corn Dip (aka Crack Corn Dip)
How to Make the Highly Requested Crack Corn Dip
Try this addicting crack corn dip- it got its name for a reason! Once you dip a chip, you can’t stop coming back for more! I like to make it at all my gatherings and its requested from family members all the time.
To get started on this delicious dip, you’ll need a few key ingredients. First, grab a crockpot and add in some corn – canned or frozen, whichever you prefer. Next, add in some jalapenos to give it a spicy kick. Feel free to adjust the level of heat to your liking by using more or less jalapenos.
For the cheesy goodness, you’ll need some Colby Jack cheese, although you can use any type of cheese you like. Sour cream adds a rich and creamy texture to the dip, while cream cheese provides an extra layer of flavor. Bacon is also a must-have – you can mix it in at the end or sprinkle it on top for a smoky finish.
To add some freshness to the dip, sprinkle some chopped cilantro or parsley on top. If you want to take it to the next level, crumble some Queso Fresco on top for a lovely finish. A squeeze of fresh lime juice and some lime wedges on the side complete the dish. Finally, grab your favorite chips – Frito scoops are a great choice – and get ready to dig in!
If you’re looking for a crowd pleaser dip for summer or a potluck, this one is a winner! Depending on your guests spice preference, you can add more or less jalapenos as necessary.
When making this delicious dip, keep a few tips in mind to take it to the next level. If you’re using canned corn, be sure to save a bit of the corn water – it comes in handy if the dip ends up too thick. Just add a little of the reserved water to thin it out and achieve the perfect consistency.
To give your dip an extra boost of flavor, consider sprinkling some queso fresco and chopped cilantro on top. A squeeze of fresh lime juice also adds a nice brightness to the dish. If you’re planning ahead, you can wait to add the cream cheese until shortly before serving. Just give it enough time to melt and mix in, and you’re good to go!
Finally, for those who like a little extra heat, consider serving the dip with some pickled jalapenos on the side. This adds an extra layer of spice and flavor that’s sure to please even the most adventurous palates.
