Ingredients in Corn Dip
Canned Corn – While I used regular canned corn in my recipe you can also use Mexicorn. It should be in the same area as the canned corn in your grocery store. The only difference is Mexicorn has bell peppers added to it. This can give your dip more flavor.
Mayonnaise – Give your dip creaminess and is a main ingredient in corn dip.
Sour Cream – Another main ingredient that helps with creaminess.
Ranch Dressing – The third main ingredient. Gives flavor and helps to build the base of the dip. I used bottled ranch dressing for this recipe, but you can substitute a ranch packet instead. You may need to add a little more sour cream and mayonnaise if you want a creamier dip.
Cheddar Cheese – I used cheddar cheese because it pairs with the ingredients so well, but you could also use a Mexican blend of shredded cheese. I shred my own cheese because it has more flavor (in my opinion), but bagged shredded cheese is fine.
Green Onion – Optional, can be left out if you don’t like them. You can substitute the green onion with red onion if you prefer.
Bacon – A delicious addition, but you can leave it out if you don’t like Bacon or eat it. You can use freshly cooked bacon or the premade diced package from the grocery store.
Jalapeno – Gives your dip more flavor and a hint of spice. You can substitute canned jalapenos. If you use canned jalapenos add a little of the juice to your dip for more spice!
Garlic – For flavor.
Lime Juice – For flavor and wetness.
Onion Powder, Salt, Black Pepper – Spiced to give your dip more flavor
You could also add Cilantro and Queso Fresco Cheese for more of a Mexican Corn Dip recipe.
