Cheesy Bacon Corn Dip will be the hit at any party or game day. Cheese, bacon, corn and jalapenos all come together for a delicious appetizer.
A few weeks ago I talked about my trip to Iowa for the CornQuest Tour. It’s put on every year by the Iowa Corn Growers Association and I attended with 9 other bloggers. Today I am sharing a delicious recipe using, what else, corn! We were able to visit Hy-Vee’s and taste an incredible corn dip. I had to make one myself. It’s not the exact same but super delicious nonetheless. I love dip recipes. They are so easy and basically a meal.
This dip of mine is a little spicy and so full of amazing flavor. Because bacon. Add bacon to most anything and it’s amazing. And cheese. Ohmygosh I die at all that cheese! Look at it. I couldn’t keep away from this dip. Chips, crackers, bread, a spoon… it doesn’t matter. Just get it in your face. You will love it and be the most famous person in the land. Among your friends and family anyway.
