1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.
Mix in the cheddar cheese and sour cream, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fold in the cooked bacon and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra green onions if desired. Serve warm.
Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for an extra layer of flavor. If you're looking for a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for that smoky taste. This dip can also be made ahead of time; just prepare it as directed, refrigerate, and reheat before serving.
