Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
  • 2 cans Southwest style corn, drained (about 15 oz. each)
  • 1 can chopped green chilies (4 oz.)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream (can substitute Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp chili powder

For Serving

  • 1 large bag Fritos Scoops
  • Chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bacon: Fry 6 slices of bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove from pan and let cool, then crumble into small pieces.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the crumbled bacon, drained Southwest style corn, chopped green chilies, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, and chili powder. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste.

  • Make sure to drain the canned corn and green chilies well to avoid a watery dip.
  • Can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
