Bacon Corn Dip

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon (diced)
• 3 cups corn kernels (frozen, canned or roasted)
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 jalapeño (seeded and diced, optional)
• 4 ounces cream cheese (cubed)
• 2 tablespoons milk (or more, to taste)
• 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (or more, to taste)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon.

2. 2

   Add corn, onion, bell pepper and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese and milk until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

3. 3

   Stir in green onions and sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

4. 4

   Serve immediately, sprinkled with bacon.*
