Our Cheesy Bacon Corn Dip Is Everything You Love About Summer in One Bowl
Corn is like my summer strawberry. As soon as it hits stores, I go crazy buying those ears. How could you not?! They're perfectly sweet and go deliciously with just about anything, and in any preparation. Seriously, think about how many ways you can enjoy the juicy kernels: in a salad, straight off the cob, and in, of course, a dip.
I made a version of this dip last summer and it was so insanely cheesy, even I knew I needed to dial it back (I'm delusional, right?). So this take is a little less indulgent, with a lot more flavor-thanks to bacon and chives.
The bacon lends an addictive, smoky flavor that takes this dip to the next level (bonus for true pork lovers: add some of the bacon fat to the dip to take that salty flavor up a notch). Creaminess comes from cream cheese and sour cream; feel free to sub in mayo if that's more your style. As for the corn, fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned all work perfectly in this recipe.
