No-Bake Easy Creamy Corn Dip

I love making new dips. They’re the perfect side dish for any party, big or small, and they’re so easy to make! My latest go-to is this corn dip. It’s creamy, cheesy, has just a touch of Mexican flavor and, as an added bonus, there’s no baking required to make it—simply combine the ingredients and refrigerate! This is especially convenient for those hot summer days when you don’t want to turn on the oven. You can prep it the day before, too, which makes party planning a breeze. Here’s how to make it!

The ingredients for this dip are simple! You’ll need sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Old El Paso green chiles, canned corn and a few spices—ground cumin, chili powder, garlic salt and some salt and pepper. I added some cilantro and some diced bacon, too—what recipe isn’t better with bacon?

Also, have a bag of chips on hand to serve this dip with. I used Food Should Taste Good multigrain tortilla chips. These chips are great because they have better-for-you ingredients like quinoa and flax seeds, but you’d never know because the flavor is so good!

First, using a stand or hand mixer, beat sour cream, mayonnaise, cheese, chiles and spices on medium speed until well blended

Next, stir in corn, bacon and cilantro until well combined.

Chill for at least an hour before serving and dig in!
