This Out-of-this-World Corn Dip (also know as Crack Corn Dip) is a crowd pleasing appetizer that has become my go-to party recipe. It’s easy to make and will always great rave reviews!
Out-of-this-World Corn Dip:
Greetings all! I hope you had a fab Fourth of July. I know I did.
Though, I must admit having a holiday mid-week always screws me up. Not only do I have no idea what day it is, my productivity schedule is completely out of whack. Anyone else?
Yesterday I whipped up an impromptu dip for a little swimming nosh at my Dad’s house. I hadn’t made this dip in over five years and honestly forgot how delicious it really is. And, you know me, it’s super simple to put together an it makes a ginormous amount of dip.
I actually found this recipe via a Gooseberry Patch cookbook my mom gave me years ago when I first moved to Philadelphia after college.
However, after a quick google search found it all over the net. Some even call it Crack Corn Dip! But, for the purpose of this post, I give all the credit to Gooseberry Patch’s Coming Home with Gooseberry Patch.
How to make Crack Corn Dip:
This Corn Dip Recipe is so easy to make:
- Just toss all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Stir to evenly combine
- Refrigerate until your ready to serve.
That’s it!
Two quick notes – I couldn’t find the corn with died peppers, so I just used plain sweet corn and added in 1/4 cup of chopped roasted red peppers. Fabulous! Also, take the time to make sure everything is drained really, really well. This dip can get runny if you don’t. Also the longer it sets, the more the cheese soaks up any liquids.

Trust me, this Out-of-this-World Corn Dip (Crack Corn Dip) is edible gold!
It’s has a small kick (use less jalapeños if you don’t want it as spicy), but I love that. So fab!

This was a crowd pleaser in general, but I could’ve used more kick to it! I plan to use fresh jalapeños next time.
This recipe is just ok. It is definitely lacking seasoning. I upped the garlic powder and added cumin and chipotle powder as well as salt. It also needs acid, so I added the juice of half a lime. Good starting point, just needed a boost of flavour.
I’ve made this dip twice now. My family loves it! This is one of my go to dish. Thank you so much for sharing
I included the juice and zest of half a lemon and a few chopped jalapenos and one can of corn. Amazing.
I made this for our Playoff party, Bills vs Texans. Wasn’t sure how it would go over since it was my first time to make. I had to improvise a couple of ingredients but no problem. It was delicious. Thank you for the recipe. I will check back for more.
This stuff IS crack! Super easy to make and follow. Literally no effort other than stirring it all together. My co-workers devoured it! Thanks for sharing this recipe with the world!
For those wondering if it can be served warm…YES YES YES!!! As a matter of fact I only ever serve it as a hot dip. Delicious!

How far ahead can I make this deep ??? I need some “way ahead” recipes for appetizers.
I have to do some stuff for my son’s rehearsal but do not have time to do last minute dips !!
Thx !
You could make this a day in advance. I love this dip just as much the next day!

I made this for an office event and everyone raved about it and at least one person asked me for the recipe. It truly is as easy as it appears. I find that opening the cans and letting them drain while I chop the green onions and do the rest of the prep helps cut down the excess moisture. I made this the night before it was needed and the consistency was nice and thick.
This dip is AMAZING! It’s been my go-to for a few years now and I make it several times a year for parties. People love it!
Thank you! I made this for my recent family gathering, it was amazing!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of my favorites!

I just had a flashback when you mentioned Gooseberry Cookbook. Is that an Ohio based company? When we moved to Columbus Gooseberry was everywhere. laura
I made this for a 4th of July BBQ. It was delicious and so easy!!
I make this a couple times of year (especially during the summer) and it always gets RAVE reviews. Love this recipe.
I’ve made this several times. It’s fantastic! And, as someone else suggested, even better during fresh corn season. Thanks for this winner, Michael.
