Drain the corn – This is a must! No one wants a watery dip, so make sure you get rid of all the liquid.
Cook the bacon. Crisp it up to your liking in a pan. Once done, chop it into small bits and try not to eat too much before it goes into the dip!
Chop the scallions and jalapeño. These will add a fresh, zesty kick. If you’re a fan of spice, leave the seeds in the jalapeño. If not, take them out for a milder taste.
In a medium-large bowl, throw in your drained corn, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, chopped bacon, scallions, jalapeño, and seasonings (black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder). Give it all a good mix until everything is well combined and looks irresistibly creamy.
Pop the dip in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. This lets all those flavors really meld together.
Grab some tortilla chips and start dipping! Pro tip: this dip tastes even better after it’s had some time to chill and absorb all the flavors.
