I could probably survive off dips. By choice. There is just something so addictive about chips and dip, and this easy corn dip recipe is no exception.
This is a cold, creamy dip made with just five ingredients. It’s perfect for a picnic, boat day, or really any party spread.
This dip feels very Midwest to me, although I am not sure of the actual origin. Sometimes I have heard versions of this dip called “crack corn dip” and it reminds me of Rotel cheese dip in that it’s something I would probably find at a family get-together growing up.

Ingredients
- Canned Corn – Southwest or MexiCorn preferred
- Mayo
- Sour Cream
- Green Onions
- Pepper Jack Cheese
You can add a few more spices and seasonings if you want, like garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.
How to Make Corn Dip
Drain the corn from the can juices. Finely chop up the green onion. Shred the pepper jack cheese (if it’s not already).
In a large mixing bowl, stir tougher the corn, mayo, sour cream, green onion, and cheese. Taste and add any spices or seasoning you feel it needs. I tend to add a little garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper usually.
Serve cold with tortilla chips or sliced vegetables like bell peppers.
Tips & Variations
- If you can’t find Southwest corn or Mexicorn, you can use any canned corn and add a few finely diced red bell peppers for a little more crunch and color.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if you want a lighter version of this dip.
- If you really want to bump up the flavors, try mixing in a packet (or half a packet) of taco or fajita seasoning. Or add a little chopped cilantro.
