Who doesn’t love a good slow cooker recipe? I mean, there’s really nothing better than tossing everything into a slow cooker, putting the lid on, and walking away. Then in a few hours, your whole kitchen smells like whatever you’re cooking and your dish is ready to go!

Slow cooker recipes are great for days you’re feeling a little lazy, and also for when you’re busy.

Let’s say you’re getting ready for a potluck or party – do you really want to be mixing ingredients over a hot stove while you’re also deciding what to wear? No!

Avoid that annoyance by making this slow cooker jalapeño corn dip.

It’s cheesy, creamy, and just spicy enough to make your mouth water. It’s an indulgent dip that’s always a big crowd pleaser! I love that I can cook this dip on low for 2 hours – yes, only 2 hours! – and it’s ready to go when the party starts.

Ingredients

• Corn – Keep things simple by using canned corn.
• Jalapeños – Want to make this dip spicier? Keep the seeds in the mix instead of tossing them out.
• Colby jack cheese – You could use cheddar instead, but I find that colby jack is milder and creamier.
• Sour cream – Go ahead and use a full fat sour cream for the creamiest results.
• Cream cheese – Same with the sour cream! Full fat, not low fat ingredients is the way to go here. This dip is indulgent, so treat yourself by not cutting any corners.
• Bacon – Turkey bacon can also be used if you don’t eat red meat.
• Cilantro – If you really love cilantro, toss another handful in there.
• Queso fresco – This might just be my favorite ingredient on the list. It’s creamy beyond belief and full of flavor!
• Lime – Half of the lime will be juiced, the other half cut into wedges.
• Chips – Any brand of tortilla chip will work.

How long will slow cooker jalapeño corn dip stay fresh?

If you’re serving this at a party, you can either transfer it to a serving bowl or keep it in the slow cooker on the “warm” setting.

At room temperature, it should stay fresh for a few hours – long enough for everyone in attendance to enjoy a bite!

Store any leftovers you may have in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat it back in the slow cooker.

Is there a way to add protein into this dip?

You know, lump crab meat would be excellent with this jalapeño corn dip! I would stir it in at the end and not too much so you don’t break up the lumps.

You could also do shredded rotisserie chicken. Again, I would stir it in at the end and let the heat of the dip warm up the chicken.

How do I make the jalapeño corn dip less thick?

If your dip is super thick and too dense to dip a chip into, there’s an easy solution!

When you first mix all of the ingredients, reserve a little bit of the corn water from the can. If your final product is too thick, stir in a splash of that water to fix the consistency.

How spicy is this?

It depends on how tolerable to spice you are. I found this gave a nice little burn tickle on my tongue but if that isn’t for you, you can reduce to 1 jalapeño.

Or, alternatively, if you want it spicier, adding a bit of cayenne pepper would amp this up even more!

If you’re serving this to guests, I would suggest maybe putting the cayenne pepper or extra spicy toppings on the side because not everyone has the same spice tolerance.
