Ingredients for Crack Corn Dip

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Crack Corn Dip

• 2 cups canned corn, drained
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
• 1/4 cup finely diced jalapeños optional
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: crushed chips, bacon bits, extra cheese

How to Make Crack Corn Dip

Step One

First, place the drained corn in a medium mixing bowl, then add the shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the corn.

Step Two

Next, add the sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir slowly until the mixture is creamy and smooth. It may seem thick at first, but keep mixing until it thickens. Then, add the chopped green onions, bell peppers, and chili peppers if using. These add crunch and color, so mix them in evenly for the best consistency.

Step Three

Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce, and taste to see if you want more flavor. For extra crunch, add a handful of crushed potato chips or sprinkle them on top just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Step Four

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld and makes the sauce more delicious. If you prefer it warm, you can heat it in the oven for 10 minutes on low heat until the cheese is melted. Stir it before serving, and garnish with more cheese, bacon bits, or green onions if you want a more elegant look.
