Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) corn, drained
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced jalapenos
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cans of corn (15 oz each), 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of diced jalapenos, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of black pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend these ingredients until they are smooth and well combined.
- Next, drain the corn thoroughly to remove any excess liquid. This will help prevent the dip from becoming watery during cooking.
- Add the drained corn and diced jalapenos to the cream cheese mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Once everything is well mixed, transfer the mixture into the slow cooker. Spread it out evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Top the mixture with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the top.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheeses to melt into a creamy dip.
- After 2 hours, check the dip. It should be hot and bubbly. Stir the dip to combine the melted cheese with the other ingredients.
- Once mixed, serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy your Slow Cooker Corn Jalapeno Dip!
Tips
- For the best texture, make sure to thoroughly drain the corn to prevent a watery dip.
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure smooth blending of ingredients.
- If you're sensitive to heat, remove the jalapeno seeds before dicing to reduce spiciness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits on top before serving.
- Keep the slow cooker on "warm" setting after cooking to maintain the perfect serving temperature.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or a Mexican cheese mix for variety.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the slow cooker or microwave for up to 3 days.
