Jalapeño Bacon Corn Dip

I don't know about you, but I love a good dip.

One of my favorite go-to dips is my Corn Dip. 

Everyone loves that dip! 

I decided to tweak that recipe a bit...add bacon & then make it a warm dip by baking it in the oven.

Everything is better with bacon :)

Since the Superbowl is this weekend, I thought I would share it with you in case you need to bring an appetizer to a Superbowl Party!

 Here is what you need:

Block of Cream Cheese, softened (I use 1/3 fat)
1/2 cup Sour Cream

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 can Yellow Corn 

1 can of diced green chilles
1 can of diced jalapenos

3 green onions, chopped

6 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
1 teaspoon Lawry's seasoned salt
Dash of cayenne pepper

 Directions:

I soften my cream cheese in the microwave for about a minute. In a bowl, add the cream cheese, 1/2 cup Sour Cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, Lawry's & Cayenne Pepper:

 Mix with a hand mixer until it is all combined:

 Then add your drained can of corn, drained can of jalapenos, green chilies, chopped green onions & cooked/chopped bacon (I bake my bacon in a 400 degree oven for 15-18 minutes)

 Stir it all together:

Put in a baking dish:

 Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes (until it is heated through & the cheese is melty)

I set aside some extra green onions & chopped bacon to garnish with after I take it out of the oven.

If a bacon garnish is wrong, I don't want to be right ;)

  I usually serve it with Fritos:

 It also tastes delicious when served with Blue Corn Tortilla Chips (or Tostitos Scoops)

 This is such an easy dip to make & you can make the night before and then bake it right before you are going to serve it.

It tastes best when eaten warm, right out of the oven!

Enjoy & let me know if you make it!

 I am rooting for the Eagles...sorry all you Patriots fans, you have won too many Superbowls lately....it's time for a new team to win :)

I do love the Superbowl & Football, but I must say this year I am most excited for Justin Timberlake's Halftime performance. Love me some JT.  Can I get an Amen? ;)

Who are you rooting for in the Superbowl?

If you don't care who wins,  do you just watch for the commercials, Halftime Show & the food?
