Yesterday I whipped up an impromptu dip recipe for a little swimming nosh at my Dad’s house. It is one of my favorite appetizer recipes! 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.

If you like corn dips you also need to try this jalapeño corn dip and loaded veggie ranch corn dip.

I actually found this particular 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! (That’s what my family calls it now because they love it so much!) But, for the purpose of this post, I give all the credit to Gooseberry Patch’s Coming Home with Gooseberry Patch.

That’s it!

Recipe Notes

I couldn’t find the corn with diced 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 corn dip can get runny if you don’t. Also the longer it sets, the more the cheese soaks up any liquids.

  1. Amazingly easy and so tasty!! It was a hit the first time I made it now it’s my go to for all parties!! I love all of Michael’s recommendations!!!

  2. I did everything here but added a boatload of mexican spices. I have a blend I like but cumin, coriander, mexican oregano, cayenne, salt and pepper would be my recommendations. Great base though, I heated it up slowly in the oven and the crowd loved it. Great as a dip but also instead of cheese and sour cream on a taco!

  3. Kick it up a notch and add lots of Tajin! Makes it just that much better than it already is! Also, the Tillamook Farm shredded sharp cheddar or shredding your own sharp cheddar for bigger cheese chunks really puts this over the top!

    1. My blog has a great search feature. Just search “pretzels” and it should come up. You can also Google “inspired by charm pretzels” and it should come up there as well.
