Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Mexican Cream Cheese Dip.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen corn, softened cream cheese, shredded Mexican-blend cheese, and diced jalapeno peppers.
Step 4
Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended and creamy.
Step 5
Once your mixture is ready, transfer it into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a delicious base.
Step 6
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until it’s heated through and starting to bubble with excitement.
Step 7
While the dip is baking, it’s time to cook the bacon.
Step 8
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, turning it occasionally until it’s perfectly browned and crispy, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 9
Once it’s done, drain the bacon on paper towels to absorb any excess grease, and when it’s cool enough to handle, chop it into small, tasty pieces.
Step 10
After 20 minutes, take the dip out of the oven and sprinkle the chopped bacon and a generous amount of shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 11
Return the dish to the oven for another 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and bubble into a golden, irresistible topping.
Step 12
Your dip is now ready to be enjoyed—serve it warm and watch it disappear!.
