How This Recipe Came to Be
A long time ago, years in fact, I had a really delicious corn dip at a bbq and it became quite embarrassing how much of it I ate. I couldn’t stop. Every bite only made me want more and more and all I could think was, I HAVE to have the recipe. Well, not everyone is into sharing their recipes, in fact some flat out refuse. It was a sad moment. And I totally forgot about it until now, and I had to recreate it! So bacon corn ranch dip is totally happening and it’s full of cheesy deliciousness.
What Do I Need for Corn Dip?
So let’s break it down, this cold corn dip involves ranch, bacon, and corn. In other words, it’s three safe foods for picky eaters. Is it just me or have you all noticed that even kids and adults who refuse to eat anything seem to be okay with these three foods?
Bacon is obvious, corn is so sweet and good — and even better if you grill it, but that’s not necessary— and ranch. I don’t know why ranch is a picky eater pleaser, but it does work! Here is a complete list of everything you will need:
- Corn – ideally you want fresh corn on the cob, but if it’s not corn season, then frozen corn works great
- Ranch Dressing – we prefer to make it from scratch or use a ranch packet rather than buying a bottle of ranch dressing
- Sour Cream – you can double the ranch dressing if you don’t have sour cream and want extra ranch flavor
- Shredded Cheese – we used cheddar and pepperjack for this recipe and you can use any combination of cheese you want
- Bell Peppers – you will chop these up and sauté them to soften them a little and add great grilled flavor
- Diced Green Chiles – drain them well, they add such great flavor and a little heat
- Green Onions – these add a beautiful pop of color and fresh flavor
- Bacon – cook your bacon ahead of time until it’s crispy and let it cool, head to our how to cook bacon post for all our tips and cooking the perfect bacon
