Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 29 oz canned corn (drained)

- 2 packs ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2.5 oz bagged real bacon pieces
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- salt (to taste)
Instructions
Crock Pot Instructions
- Combine the ingredients. Add the drained corn, green chiles, ranch seasoning, black pepper, bacon, cubed cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar to the Crock Pot. Stir to combine.
- Cook. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice, until the cheese has melted and the dip is hot and creamy.
- Season and serve. Stir well, taste, and add salt only if needed. Switch the Crock Pot to WARM and serve with Fritos, tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Oven Instructions
- Combine the ingredients. Add the drained corn, green chiles, ranch seasoning, black pepper, bacon, cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar to a greased 8x8" baking dish.
- Bake. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once if needed, until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.
- Season and serve. Stir well, taste, and add salt only if needed. Top with extra bacon, cheddar, green onions, or jalapeños, if desired.
Notes
- Drain the corn well to prevent a watery dip.
- Cube the cream cheese so it melts faster and more evenly.
- Use real bacon pieces, not imitation bacon bits.
- Wait until the dip is hot before adding salt. Ranch seasoning, bacon, and cheddar are already salty.
- Keep the finished dip on warm and stir occasionally while serving.
- Add jalapeños, hot green chiles, Pepper Jack, cayenne, or hot sauce for more heat.
- Make the dip up to 48 hours ahead and reheat slowly in the Crock Pot or oven.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended because the dairy may separate after thawing.
