Why You’ll Be Obsessed With Cowboy Corn Dip

If you’ve never tried this flavor-packed dip, you’re in for a treat. It’s the kind of dish that makes you go back for “just one more bite” at least five times. It’s rich, savory, and has just the right amount of heat from jalapeños. Plus, the combo of creamy base and salty bacon hits all the comfort-food notes. You can make it ahead, serve it cold or warm, and it plays nice with almost any chip or veggie stick.

Cowboy Corn Dip Ingredients

2 cans corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup mayonnaise
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup grated parmesan
1 jalapeño, finely diced (seeded for less heat)
8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ red onion, diced
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Chopped green onion for garnish

Feel free to swap the mayo for Greek yogurt if you want to lighten things up. Not into bacon? Leave it out or use plant-based crumbles.

How to Make Cowboy Corn Dip

Step 1: Mix Everything Up

In a big mixing bowl, combine corn, beans, mayo, cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, jalapeño, bacon, red onion, salt, and pepper. Stir until it’s smooth and well combined. It’ll look thick and chunky and smell incredible already.

Step 2: Chill or Bake

Top with chopped green onion and you’re ready to serve it chilled. For best flavor, chill at least 30 minutes so the flavors really settle in.

Step 3: Want It Hot and Melty?

Pour it into a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. If you love that bubbly, golden top, broil it for another 1 to 2 minutes. Let it cool just slightly before digging in. That warm cheese pull? Unreal.

How to Serve Cowboy Corn Dip

This dip is super versatile when it comes to what you serve it with. We love it with classic tortilla chips, but it’s also amazing with warm pita wedges, crunchy pretzel crisps, or baguette slices. Need a gluten-free option? Pair it with carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper strips.

Storage Tips

Cowboy Corn Dip keeps well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Just store it in an airtight container. If it thickens up or separates a bit, give it a good stir before serving again. I don’t recommend freezing it too many creamy ingredients that don’t play well once thawed.
