There is just something about a good dip that brings people together. This creamy cold corn dip is one I’ve made more times than I can count, and it never disappoints. It’s creamy, cheesy, and has just the right amount of zest.

Made with sweet corn, the green chilis and Rotel give it a nice kick, the crispy bacon pieces add that perfect savory touch, and the creamy, cheesy base ties it all together.

I love making this dip for any kind of get-together, whether it’s a casual game day or a family potluck. It’s super easy to whip up and always a hit with friends and family. And since it’s served cold, there is no last-minute cooking. Just mix, chill, and dig in with some crunchy chips or crackers.

How to Make Corn Dip

Here are the ingredients you need to make this cold corn dip, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.

Ingredients

2 – 15.25 oz cans Southwest Corn, drained
10 oz can Rotel, drained
1 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
4 oz can green chilis, drained
⅓ cup bacon pieces
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 green onion, diced (for topping)

Step by Step Instructions

1. Dice the green onion into small pieces. Set it aside, you’ll use some in the dip and the rest as a garnish.

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the drained Southwest corn, Rotel, shredded cheddar cheese, green chilis, and bacon pieces. Give everything a good toss to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This creamy mixture is what gives the dip its rich, smooth texture and enhances all the flavors.

4. Pour the creamy dressing over the corn mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined. Make sure every bite is coated in that flavorful, cheesy goodness.

5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the diced green onion on top for a pop of color and a bit of fresh flavor.

6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dip chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes the dip even better. When you’re ready to serve, grab a bag of Fritos Scoops, tortilla chips, or your favorite crackers, and dig in!

This dip is the kind of thing you make once, and suddenly, everyone starts asking for it at every get-together. It’s simple, packed with flavor, and goes with just about any chip or cracker you have on hand. Plus, you can make it ahead of time, which is always a bonus. Whether it’s game day, a potluck, or just a snack-worthy moment, this Corn Dip is ready to deliver.
