Easy Creamy Corn Dip (aka Crack Corn Dip)
This easy and creamy corn dip (also known as Crack Corn Dip) is a type of dip or spread made with canned Mexican-style corn, cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chilies, and green onions. The ingredients are typically mixed together and served cold though sometimes baked or heated until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This dip is often served with corn chips as a snack or appetizer for game day, during holidays, or other special events.
Ingredients
- 15 oz each 3 cans fiesta corn or Mexicorn, drained
- 1 10 oz can Rotel (reg or hot), drained
- 1 6 oz can diced jalapeno, drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 5 green onions (about 1/2 cup), sliced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 piece red bell pepper, finely chopped
- handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients except for the bell peppers and cilantro in a bowl. Stir to evenly combine.
- This easy creamy corn dip can be made a day ahead. Simply refrigerate until you're ready to serve. Add the finely chopped bell peppers just before serving. The dip will thicken as it sits in the fridge.
- Season with a little ground pepper, salt and even a little sugar (1/2 a teaspoon) to further enhance its flavor as needed or desired.

TIPS AND TRICKS
Other recipes don't necessarily include bell peppers and cilantro but I added them not only for a nice pop of color but for the flavors they add, too.
