Cheesy Bacon Corn Dip will be the hit at any party or game day. Cheese, bacon, corn and jalapenos all come together for a delicious appetizer.
A few weeks ago I talked about my trip to Iowa for the CornQuest Tour. It’s put on every year by the Iowa Corn Growers Association and I attended with 9 other bloggers. Today I am sharing a delicious recipe using, what else, corn! We were able to visit Hy-Vee’s and taste an incredible corn dip. I had to make one myself. It’s not the exact same but super delicious nonetheless. I love dip recipes. They are so easy and basically a meal.
This dip of mine is a little spicy and so full of amazing flavor. Because bacon. Add bacon to most anything and it’s amazing. And cheese. Ohmygosh I die at all that cheese! Look at it. I couldn’t keep away from this dip. Chips, crackers, bread, a spoon… it doesn’t matter. Just get it in your face. You will love it and be the most famous person in the land. Among your friends and family anyway.
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1⅛ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1⅛ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 2 to 4 oz. canned dice jalapeno peppers, depending on how spicy you like it
- 15 oz. can corn, drained
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve 2 Tbsp for garnish)
- green onions for garnish
- Mix cream cheese, and one cup of each cheddar and Monterey cheeses, jalapeno, corn, bacon, and garlic powder.
- Spread into an 8x8 or equivalent pan.
- Sprinkle with remaining ⅛ cups of cheddar and Monterey cheeses and reserved bacon.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Turn oven to broil on low and heat another minute or two to brown the cheese a little. Watch closely to not burn!
- Serve warm with chips, crackers or bread.
I was sponsored by Iowa Corn Growers Association to attend the CornQuest 2015 Tour and share this recipe. All thoughts are all mine.

What a gorgeous dip Mandy, so cheesy and delicious! I’m afraid I could eat most of that panful. I recently made a bacon corn chowder and the combo of those two is heavenly! Will definitely try your dip!
