Can we take a moment to appreciate all things dips? I mean, whether it’s Artichoke Dip, Bacon Cheddar Dip, or even Buffalo Chicken Dip, I can never get enough.

But then I whip up this creamy, spicy, cheesy Jalapeño Corn Dip and I have to wonder, is this possibly the best dip of all?

This yummy dip combines cream cheese, jalapeños and chiles, corn, cheese, bacon, and all the spices to craft a dip good enough to eat with a spoon. (Tortilla chips or crackers work too!)

sweet onion
garlic
green chiles
jalapeños
frozen corn
spices: chili powder, cumin, garlic salt

Step by step

This dip is super fast to make using the pressure cooker. (Scroll down for oven and slow cooker instructions below) Simply sauté the onion then add garlic, peppers, corn, broth, and spices. Pressure cook for 8 minutes, then manually release the pressure.

Stir in the cream cheese, colby jack cheese, and sour cream until nice and creamy then top with crumbled bacon and chopped cilantro!

Tips for best results

If you’re not familiar with the ‘QUICK RELEASE’ method, see this Instant Pot 101 post for more information and safety precautions.
You can leave your Instant Pot in warm mode if you would like to keep the dip hot while entertaining.
Adjust the heat of this recipe by increasing or decreasing the amount of jalapeños you add.

Oven and Slow Cooker Instructions

To make this dip in the oven, start with cream cheese softened to room temperature. Sauté onions in a skillet then add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined. Transfer to a 9 by 11 inch baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

To use your slow cooker to make jalapeño corn dip, sauté onions in a skillet then transfer all ingredients EXCEPT cream cheese to the crock pot and stir together. Cut the cream cheese into pats and place over the top of the dip. Cook on low for 2 hours. Stir to mix in the cream cheese and cook an additional 15 minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions

This hot corn dip is tasty enough to eat on its own with a spoon but so fun to dip! Serve with tortilla chips, corn chips, crackers, or even crusty bread! My favorite is Fritos scoops but you could also use pita chips, Ritz crackers, or anything that can hold up to this chunky dip.
