It doesn’t happen often at our house, but anytime there’s a big football game or basketball tournament, this is something we love to do. I’ll typically make a few meaty appetizers, like my Loaded Steak Nachos, Parmesan Mozzarella Meatball Sliders or Pepperoni Pizza Sliders and add in this Hot & Cheesy Bacon Corn Dip!

This bacon corn dip recipe is super simple to make. Here are the easy steps to this easy & delicious appetizer:
Step 1: Mix together the ingredients in a mixing bowl
Start by creaming together the room temperature cream cheese and sour cream along with the garlic salt, chili powder and hot sauce in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Add in the Corn, Bacon, Onions and Cheese
To the cream cheese mixture, add in frozen corn, bacon crumbles, chopped onions and shredded cheese. The mixture will be thick. It’s helpful to utilize a rubber scraper to ensure all of the ingredients cream together well.
Step 3: Spread the Dip Mixture into a Cast Iron Skillet or Baking Dish
Once all of the ingredients have been mixed together well, spread the dip mixture into the bottom of a cast iron skillet or baking dish. I love using my cast iron skillet for hot dip recipes like these. The skillet holds the heat well, so it keeps the dip warm after it comes out of the oven. It also looks great as a serving dish, too!
Step 4: Add the remaining cheese and bake
Before baking the dip, be sure to add the remainder of the shredded cheese to the top of the dip mixture. It adds a great cheesy component to the dip once served.
Bake the dip for 22-25 minutes at 400 degrees.
Once the dip comes out of the oven, it’s ready to serve right away. Feel free to top the dip with extra bacon crumbles and sliced onions. Serve the dip with your favorite tortilla chips – it’s also fantastic with pieces of sliced French bread or baguette. Enjoy while warm.
