Creamy Baked Corn Dip
Corn dip is the perfect combination of sweet kernels of corn mixed with colorful veggies, chiles, and bacon bits, all baked into a cheesy creamy sauce.

- It uses ingredients I almost always have on hand.
- Prepare ahead and bake right before serving.
- Hearty dip recipes like this one can be served hot or cold! Plus, it can be made up to 3 days in advance and the flavors just blend even more!
Serve with celery sticks, tortilla chips, Fritos, toasted crostini, or bagel chips.
