Description

This Mexican-inspired cream cheese dip with corn, jalapenos, and bacon is made for a crowd--serve it with tortilla chips and crackers at your next party.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen corn
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
2 (4 ounce) cans diced jalapeno peppers
6 slices bacon, or more to taste
2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Combine corn, cream cheese, Mexican-blend cheese, and jalapeno peppers in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle.
5 Remove dip from the oven. Top with chopped bacon and shredded Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 10 more minutes.
