Ingredients In Crack Corn Dip

• Corn: Whole kernel canned corn is the star of this recipe. It gives flavor, texture, and a slight sweetness. You can also use thawed frozen corn.
• Jalapeños: This recipe calls for both canned and fresh jalapeños. If you want to lessen the heat make sure to remove both the seeds AND the veins (the inner white part) from the jalapeños, as that’s where most of the heat comes from.
• Red Pepper: This will add a nice crunch to the dip.
• Mayonnaise and Sour Cream: For the best flavor you’ll want to use the full fat versions of these ingredients.
• Cheddar Cheese: I usually use sharp cheddar in this dip because it has a stronger flavor and a nice tang, but you can also use mild or medium cheddar. For a spicier and even bolder taste, you can try using Pepper Jack cheese!
• Green Onions: Also known as scallions, these give the dip a mild onion taste. This recipe calls for using the whole onion, not just the white part. It’s easy to mix up green onions and spring onions when in a rush, so make sure to check the labels when buying them.
• Garlic Powder: This gives the dip just the right amount of garlic flavor without being overpowering.
• Corn Chips: A great dip is not complete without corn chips!

How To Make Crack Corn Dip

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together. 
• Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined. 
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours.
• Transfer to a serving dish and top with fresh jalapeño slices and serve with corn chips.

Tips For Making The Best Crack Corn Dip

• To ensure your dip is nice and thick, make sure to drain all of the liquids from the canned ingredients.
• This dip will taste even better the next day, so it’s a great option to make ahead. The extra time in the fridge will help the ingredients blend together, making the dip more flavorful. It will last in the fridge for about 4 days.
• Crack Corn Dip can be eaten with more than just chips! You can use it as a dip for fresh veggies, crackers, or bread. It can even be used as a filling for tacos or wraps!
