This dip is deliciously addictive! Creamy dip with a little bit of heat from the jalapeños, bursting with flavor from the MexiCorn and the green onions. This is a hit and the first thing gone at every party — It isn’t “award winning” for nothing!
For my Mother in Law’s birthday we had a pool party, and everyone brought something. This {Award Winning} Crack Dip showed up on the table and everyone went CRAZY for it! My nephew’s girlfriend, Barbie, had brought it over, receiving the recipe while they had vacationed this past summer.
I said to her, “What is IN this stuff? I can’t stop eating it!” She rattled off some crazy ingredients, and said “It’s so good, and you can’t stop eating it. Everyone loves it, that’s why it’s called Crack Dip, I guess!”
She texted me the recipe right after the party, I had it saved in my phone, only to get a new phone, and lost it. Once again she texted me the recipe, and I knew when I was invited to a party last weekend, exactly what I was bringing!
I was invited to my one of my youngest daughter’s close friends home, where her mom was having a girl’s night for Christmas. We were asked to bring a cocktail, a dessert or an appetizer. She said there would be a fun contest with a winner for each category voted on by the women in attendance. Each category would receive a prize.
We had just watched The Grinch earlier this week and have been doing quotes and laughing. I immediately said, “Award? There’s and Award?”
I took the dip and it won for the best appetizer. I had to come home and tell Barbie that it won. She said her Mom had taken it to work earlier that week for a pot luck and everyone wanted the recipe. This one here is a winner friends, you have to try it!
I mean, after all, it’s “Award Winning!”
Add all of the ingredients to a big bowl — stir to combine.
This recipe calls for MexiCorn. You can find it in one of two places in your market, right by the regular canned corn, or in the Ethnic/Hispanic food section.
Once the dip is combined, cover it and place it in the refrigerator over night — for a whole day is even better. Trust me — it gets so much tastier as the flavors all combine.
Serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Watch it DISAPPEAR.

If you make this recipe, I’d love to know! Snap a picture, share the photo on social media with the hashtag #AnAffairFromTheHeart – I’d love to see what you made! – Michaela
Dan from Platter Talk says
Can’t wait to try this dip!!
JoNn says
Do you cook anything? Corn or melt cheese
Michaela Kenkel says
Nothing to cook!
Michelle @ The Complete Savorist says
Crack is right…I want some immediately.
Kecia says
I just need a spoon, skip those chips!
Susie Gall says
Wow – I am making this for our Christmas Eve family dinner (appetizer). It sounds delicious. Thanks!!
Linda (Meal Planning Maven) says
I love the simplicity of this dip plus it looks so yummy!
Debi @ Life Currents says
This sounds great! And easy to make as well. I love it. I might make it for Super Bowl!
Amanda says
Do you drain the can of green chilies?
Michaela Kenkel says
No don’t drain them.
Barb says
what size can of mexicorn do you use?
Michaela Kenkel says
I think they only come in one size? 11 ounces I think?
June Floyd says
Mexicorn comes in 7 oz & 11 oz cans.
Susan Watt says
Is “MEXICORN” basicly whole kernel corn? I can’t seem to find anything in the ethnic aisle that says mexicorn
Michaela Kenkel says
It’s corn with peppers in it. It’s always right by the corn at my store.
Sabrina says
Sweet Crap! I just made this… I cannot stop eating it! LOL I can’t wait to experience the flavor after 12 hours, if its already this good! This definitely requires a double batch going forward, so I can have some at home AND take to whatever event I will be making it for!!!
Thanks so much!
Michaela Kenkel says
These kinds of comments make me SO GLAD that I do what I do! Thanks for the sweet words. I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Orla Byrne says
Hi I live in Ireland what alternatives can I use for this recipe never heard of Mexicorn here
Michaela Kenkel says
Basically it is corn with diced red and green bell peppers. You could use regular canned corn and add a small amount of red and green bell pepper? I’m sure it will be great!
Didi says
Two cans of corn and maybe half a can of Rotel ( diced tomatoes and green chilies)
Brooke says
What can I substitute for Green Chiles? My husband is allergic but would love to make this for him. Thanks in advance.
Michaela Kenkel says
Brooke, maybe add more jalapenos? Or just omit them all together? I think Mexicorn might have chilies too? Might want to double check that. If you try it, without, I would be curious to hear what you think? I am sure it would still be good!
Lori Phillips says
I just made this. I accidentally forgot the green chilies when I went grocery shopping…Oops! I just added about an 1/8 cup extra jalapenos. It is delicious!! Can’t wait to try it again with the chilies though. 🙂
Maegan says
This looks great! I have a surplus of mozzarella cheese, though. Can I use that instead?
Michaela Kenkel says
You could try it, but it won’t taste the same. maybe you will think it’s better that way? 🙂
Maegan says
It was good! Amazing recipe!
Michaela Kenkel says
Did you use the mozzarella?
patti says
made this yesterday for a bbq today. everyone loved it…all asked for the recipe! so easy to make and so good!
Michaela Kenkel says
I am SO GLAD that you loved it, too!! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to let me know!
Michelle says
Can you tell me what mexicorn is?
Michaela Kenkel says
You will find it by the corn – it has chilies in it. It’s a smaller can than regular corn typically comes. 🙂
Eva A says
Hello,
What is Mexicorn?
Thank you
Michaela Kenkel says
You can find it in the same place as the regular canned corn. It has peppers in it. 🙂
Eva A says
OH,never mind my question,just saw someone else asked,and you answered.
Lori says
Is it really three whole bunches of green onions? (the green part) That just seems like a lot. Can you please confirm that is correct? THANKS!! Can’t wait to try this!
Michaela Kenkel says
Yep. it’s really three! 🙂 Cut it back if you want, but nobody ever complains — It’s super good!
Lori says
I made this over the weekend and took to a cookout. It was a big hit! Everybody loved it! And I did use all the green onions that it called for! 🙂
Michaela Kenkel says
Fantastic!! So happy you loved it! 🙂
resep donat kentang empuk says
thankyou for sharing the recipe
Lauren Ridings says
Love this dip! Also delicious with big Fritos 🙂
Michaela Kenkel says
YES! Totally agree!
Jan says
trying this tomorrow. No baking. Correct?
Michaela Kenkel says
No baking!
Amanda S. says
Down in Alabama we make crack dip a little differently. We brown ground sausage, melt cream cheese and drain a can of rotel and stick it all in the crock pot and serve with corn chips. This sounds amazing as well though.
Michaela Kenkel says
sounds good!
swarna says
Can you pls tell me the approximate serving size !
Michaela Kenkel says
It makes a large bowl, perfect for a big crowd! 12 people maybe? I don’t have an exact “per serving” measurement.
swarna says
Thank you …
hobriz says
would this be good warmed up a little?
Michaela Kenkel says
I have never tried it warm? If you do, I would love to hear the outcome!
John says
1 word
FABULOUS and it makes alot
Michaela Kenkel says
Thank you, John! Yes, it feeds a crowd! And yet it’s always gone! 😉
Carole says
What size can of green chiles?
Lisa says
Sounds great, can’t wait to make this for a friends Halloween party but just to be clear, is it the tops of 3 scallions or three bunches of scallions (green part)? Thanks!
Michaela Kenkel says
yes, the green part and it’s bunches. It sounds like a lot — but it strangely is just right!
Maegan says
This sounds amazing! My friends have a ‘Corntoberfest’ every October and all recipes involve corn in some way, so I’m going to try this. I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks for the recipe!
Michaela Kenkel says
What a fun party!! I hope you love it! That would be great to hear what you thought! THANK YOU!
Brantley says
This dip is amazing! I just made it for a tailgate tomorrow, but I’m afraid there may not be any left by then – I can’t get myself away from it! I always change up recipes based on what I have around, so I used three cans of Mexicorn, extra jalapeños (but they were mild), and only one bunch of green onions. I may serve it warm tomorrow, but I LOVE that it is so delicious cold, because then I don’t have to worry about keeping it warm!
Brantley says
P.S. I wanted to give it 5 stars but it went to 4 when I clicked post!
Michaela Kenkel says
Thanks, Brantley! How was it warm?
Danielle says
You don’t have to melt the cheese in the oven or anything? Just mix all together?
Michaela Kenkel says
No melting! 🙂
Renee schock says
They only have jalapeno’s pickeled in the jar??
Michaela Kenkel says
I find them right next to the canned green chilies — if you can’t find them use about 1/4 cup. 🙂
Stacey says
I’m going to make it this weekend. Is the jalapeno the pickled ones or just the regular jalapeno’s in a jar/can?
Michaela Kenkel says
Yep! I have bought them both ways!
nixon says
On a scale of 1-10 how spicy would you say this is??
Michaela Kenkel says
It’s really not spicy — the creaminess of the dip takes away from it, and if you can eat canned jalapenos you would be good. I would say if 10 were spiciest, I’d say 2 or 3. (that is even coming from my daughter who doesn’t handle much spice.) It’s more onion flavored than spice.
nixon says
Thank you so much! Will be making this to take as a thanksgiving appetizer! Wanted something a little different and edgier than traditional thanksgiving food 🙂
Michaela Kenkel says
Hope you all enjoyed it! 🙂
Michelle Foster says
Have you ever tried adding bacon? Just wondering how it would taste.
Michaela Kenkel says
I haven’t — but bacon is good on anything in my opinion!
Michelle a Foster says
have you ever tried adding bacon? Just curious as to how it would taste.
Joanne says
Are the green chilies drained?
Michaela Kenkel says
No need to drain them. 🙂
Sarah says
I’m so bummed I didn’t read the comments before I made this- I did not drain the green chillies or jalapeños and it is super spicy! Can you think of anything I could do to reduce the heat? I doubled the batch so I have a TON of this “crack” that I’m afraid will go to waste! 🙁
Thanks
Sarah
Michaela Kenkel says
Sarah- I think if you added more of the creamy part (mayo and sour cream) that could help? Maybe try in part of it? It’s hard to define spicy to so many people, we don’t find this dip spicy. I think it just varies. I hope this helps, it really is a good dip! 🙂
Jennifer says
I just to wanted to clarify, are the chiles drained?
In two different comments you say yes and no. Thanks!
Michaela Kenkel says
Do not drain the chilies.
Anne says
I couldn’t find mexicorn so I used southwest corn and it turned out awesome. Thank you!
Michaela Kenkel says
So happy that you enjoyed it!
Gina says
This is probably one of the best dips I have made and served. Everyone who has tried it, absolutely loves it. Its now requested every time my friends and I get together. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
Michaela Kenkel says
I am delighted you have found a “keeper” of a recipe! Thank you for taking the time to share with me! 🙂
Shelley nudi says
What size can green chilis?
Michaela Kenkel says
4ounces
Karen says
Great dip. I’ve added diced, seeded tomatoes and sliced black olives for color and texture. If you are watching carbs, serve with celery sticks or cucumber slices for dipping/scooping.
Michaela Kenkel says
Great additions!! Happy that you love it, too!
Kathy says
After reading all the rave reviews about your Crack Dip, I made it last night. So easy to make and absolutely amazing. Followed the recipe exactly except had to substitute southwest corn for the mexicorn because my store didn’t carry that. We didn’t find it spicy at all. It’s so nice to have a different dip other than spinach, artichoke, etc. I’m making this for a bridal couples shower in 2 weeks so hope it’s a hit! Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes. Thanks for sharing.
Michaela Kenkel says
I am so happy that you enjoyed it!
Michaela Kenkel says
Thank you for stopping by to let me know that you enjoyed it!! I love comments! 🙂
Kelly says
Is this really spicy?
Michaela Kenkel says
No, not at all!
Janet Daly says
Making it for the 4th, hope I have the right size ingredients , have 2 8oz cans. Of mexicorn and I 4 oz can of chiles don’t want to mess this up, had it last week at a party and couldn’t stop eating it.
Michaela Kenkel says
Yep! You got it!
Janet daly says
Thanks, going to make it now .
Claudia Feehan says
I had this at a 4th of July party – could NOT stop eating it – no wonder it is called “crack” dip. I loved it thank you for the recipe – I was looking for it.
Michaela Kenkel says
Im so glad you liked it!
Cindy says
Hi
Cannot find mexicorn for the life of me! Can I substitute it with regular canned corn and add in other spices? If yes, what other spices should I add in?
Thanks!
Michaela Kenkel says
It’s not really “spices” — it’s peppers. It should be right by the canned corn– I have found it at Walmart, do you have one of those?
Julie says
How many does this serve? Do I need to double it for my husband’s work potluck? Thanks!!
Michaela Kenkel says
That depends on if you can get people to stop! Lol. Seriously though– it makes quite a bit, I’d grab a couple of bags of chips.
Vicki says
I looked up some recipes for Crack Dip & another recipe added a dry ranch dip pkg. Is your recipe flavorful w/o any spices, etc.?
Michaela Kenkel says
Very much so! No complaints from anyone. 🙂
Lindsey says
I HATE onions…would this recipe be totally ruined if I make without? Wondering if anyone has done it that way?
Michaela Kenkel says
Not that anyone has ever mentioned to me. If you try it that way will you come back and tell me how it is?
Karen Cooper says
I am going to make this yummy dip tonight for a Norwex party that I’m hosting tomorrow evening and I have seen comments about not draining the chilies, but what about the corn?
Thank you!
Michaela Kenkel says
Drain the corn! 🙂
Karen Cooper says
Thank you! My mouth is watering just thinking about getting to taste this tonight!
Michaela Kenkel says
Enjoy!! Thanks for being here!
Marlette Anquetil says
I’m making a batch of this right now for at tailgating party at the Big House” to Michigan! I can’t wait to taste it in the morning!
Michaela Kenkel says
Enjoy!! Have fun!
Cori says
I just googled best dips, because I’m a dip-oholic and this was the second one to come up! I make something similar, I use fresh corn off the cob, and no jalapeños, and it is always a hit! It is like crack!!! It’s a great topping for chili and tacos! I just love it!
Michaela Kenkel says
How exciting! I need to see what number one is! 😉 I gotta try it on tacos! If you love dips check out my Texas Trash and my Dill Pickle dip– those three recipes are always my top three!
Maureen says
If I made it today on a Wednesday can I bring it to a party Saturday? How long ahead can you make it?
Maureen says
I made this today. Delicious! Will it still be good to bring it to a party Saturday? How far ahead can you make it?
Michaela Kenkel says
I thinking you refrigerate it should be? You have LEFT OVERS?
Maureen says
We have a Halloween Party to go to Saturday and I wanted to bring something new. We are all bringing appetizers. I went on line and found your recipe. Made it yesterday (Wednesday) to make sure we liked it and was going to make it again Friday. We LOVED it! Delicious! But it was just my husband and I so I have plenty left and wanted to know whether you thought I should make a fresh batch on Friday. It has been in the refrigerator since yesterday afternoon.
Laura Seaholm says
I’ve made this twice in the last few months. Just made it again for a party tomorrow night and almost had to break my husband’s hand to keep him out of it! This dip is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing it with the world!
Michaela Kenkel says
So happy to hear that!!
Adam says
You should try adding a packet of taco seasoning. I thought it helped tie it all together
Kathy says
I’m going to make this for thanksgiving , first time making it. Does it taste better with tortilla chips or corn chips
Michaela Kenkel says
It’s really a personal preference- it’s good with a spoon! 😉 I usually use tortilla.
Roland G Rehburg says
Here it is, Thanksgiving morning and I am attending a friend’s giving today. I usually bake desserts to take but I had no time this week. I needed something besides wine. I found this recipe, quick trip to the store and quickly combined the ingredients. A spoonful to taste…..DELICIOUS!!! It’s only going to get a couple of hours to chill but I think it will be fine. I did drain all the canned and jarred ingredients prior to combining.
I’m excited to see what kind of reaction this recipe gets. Thank you for sharing!!
Michaela Kenkel says
I am so glad you loved it!
Amy says
Can you freeze this dip
Michaela Kenkel says
I never have? I would think so?
Liz says
Can you substitute Greek Yogurt for the sour cream?
Robin says
Videos are so time consuming but they are such a great way to showcase your recipes and sense of style! This one is a HIT!!
Michaela Kenkel says
Thanks, Robin!
Christine @ Christine's Pantry says
Love this! Great video!
Michaela Kenkel says
Thank you!
Lynn Elliott Vining says
I made this a couple of years ago for a tailgate party, and it was a huge hit! Delicious!
Michaela Kenkel says
So happy everyone liked it!!
Michele @ Bacon Fatte says
O.K… I’m going to get into serious trouble when I make this because I don’t think I’ll be able to stop eating it! But it’s worth the “risk.” 🙂 Love the recipe – and the story that goes with it! Can’t wait to taste it!
Laura Roadruck says
This is my third time making this dip. It’s so good! My family loves it. My picky two year old eats it with carrots and celery!
Michaela Kenkel says
I am so happy that you love it like we do!! <3
Kathryn Barnes says
Excellent recipe. Thanks for sharing! The 2nd time I made this recipe I was doing it from memory and for some reason got confused and put in a package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix by mistake. Oh, my! It was even better. YUM. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Michaela Kenkel says
Really? I will have to try that!!
Nikki says
Can’t wait to try! Are the jalapeños you use pickled ?
Michaela Kenkel says
Yes!! The ones in the jar!! Please let me know what you think?
Tom says
I thought it might be interesting to add a small can of crab. Am I crazy? I can never seem to leave well enough alone.
Michaela Kenkel says
If you try it, will you come back and let me know?
Shannon says
Silly question. The tops of the green onion is the green part not the white?
Michaela Kenkel says
Never silly questions! Yes, the green. Also known as scallions. 🙂
c says
I wonder if I could use ONLY sour cream and no mayo!
Michaela Kenkel says
You could sure try it? I think the mayo adds a little something- but if you try it, will you let me know?
Kelly says
I’m making this for a party of 30… how many batches will I need and do I simply double or triple everything listed?
Thanks! Looks amazing.
Michaela Kenkel says
Kelly- it actually makes a pretty big portion as is. I’d say if you are having other food too, doubling it would be just fine. 🙂
Monica says
Can you please tell me what you mean by 3 ” bunches” of green onion?? In my store they come in bags of 10-12 In each. 3 of those would be ALOT! How many green onions in a ” bunch”??? In your video it didn’t look like alot of onion. Thank you
Michaela Kenkel says
Monica – I’d say our are about 5-6 to a bundle. It is a lot but it works out. Cut it back to 10-12 if you’re worried.
Andrew Standley says
Hey Michaela, found your easy recipe for a bachelor. Wish me luck- bringing to a work competition pot luck on Friday. Thanks for sharing! You rock!
Michaela Kenkel says
Awesome! Would love to hear how the competition goes! Good luck!
Amy says
Hey thanks for the recipe, just made it and may I suggest adding ground chorizo and salt! Really took it to the next level unless you’re vegetarian 😉
Michaela Kenkel says
Love that you made it your own!
Ashley says
Has anyone tried this warm? I know it will be good either way but kinda wanted to try it warm
Michaela Kenkel says
Ashley — I haven’t? If you do, would you let me know how it goes?
Heather says
I made this dip for a tailgate over the weekend and it was a huge hit! Thanks for the recipe!
Laura says
When you say three Bunches of green onions, what do you consider a bunch? Is one bunch the whole thing wrapped together from the store or is a bunch the onions that stem from one bulb? Hard to explain but I don’t want to use too many.
Michaela Kenkel says
Very good question. It’s 3 bunches of onions, not 3 onions. It seems like a lot, but when it sits overnight, it’s perfect!!
Clayt says
My wife found this recipe and had me make it. I give it a 3/5 after making and tasting it. Personally I think it needs some seasonings or herbs or citrus zest to accentuate the flavor.
Michaela Kenkel says
Have you let it refrigerate overnight like the recipe states?
Beth says
How long will this keep in the fridge? Wanting to make it two days ahead of time due to time constraints… will that be ok?
Thanks for sharing your recipes!
Michaela Kenkel says
Two days ahead will be just fine!
Annemarie says
Tastes delicious !! Does this need to be kept cool or can it sit out on a table for a few hours at a party ?
Michaela Kenkel says
It can sit out for a couple of hours. You can always add ice to a bowl underneath if you’re concerned.
Daniela says
Hi There,
I’ve made this a few times and its always a hit! I made some on Thursday but made a bit too much and wondering if it would still be good to serve for an upcoming get together this coming Fri Jan 11?
Michaela Kenkel says
That seems a little long. I’m not sure I’d trust that?
Cindy Frankland says
I made your Crack Dip and it is fabulous. How long will it keep in the refrigerator?
Michaela Kenkel says
Hi, Cindy! Thank you! I’ve only ever kept it a couple of days. It tends to get kind of watery if kept too long. Plus, you have to be careful with the mayo and sour cream. Hope this helps!
Lindsay says
Does this dip still taste good after 2 days of sitting in the fridge? I made it last night for a work party we were supposed to have today but there ended up being a snow day, so the party has been moved to tomorrow.
It’s definitely delicious now! ?
Michaela Kenkel says
It should be fine for two days!!
Lauren says
3 bunches (as they come in the store) of green onions? Seems like a lot. Made it twice this way already, but wanted to be sure.
Michaela Kenkel says
Yes, that’s right! It does seem like a lot but it just works!!
Amy says
Hi! I noticed in the comments it said the tops of the onions but then also the white part. I just want to confirm that it’s just the tops of three bunches of green onions?
Michaela Kenkel says
Yes – just the tops. Save the whites for another recipe! 🙂
Deana says
Oh no I bought an actual jalapeño. Can I use that instead of canned??
Michaela Kenkel says
sure!
Toula says
Can you replace jalapeno pepper and green chili’s with anything else….we can’t do spice
Michaela Kenkel says
You can buy the mild green chiles and leave the jalapeños out?
Sammy says
I’ve made this dip several times for special occasions over the past couple of years. Each time people love it. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Susan Martin says
Do you use mild green chilies or regular ones? I’ve made this before and it was delicious, I just can’t remember what I used. Thank you!
Michaela Kenkel says
It’s really a personal preference. If you want it spicier use the spicer ones. I typically buy mild, because not everyone in my family likes the heat.
Brenda says
To take it up a notch, add 1 or 2 Tbl. Of taco seasoning.
Lisa says
Delicious recipe!! Thanks for sharing!
Stacy says
Has anyone ever made use the whole green onion (white and green part)? I just made this and didn’t read my instructions very good. Did it taste okay?
Michaela Kenkel says
Stacy – if you use the whole thing it’s going to be really onion-y. If you want to do that, maybe try cutting the amount in half and using the whole thing. I would love to hear what you think?
Dan Fiolkoski says
I live in a small town in Baja mx. and some of these items are not at all available where I live. I can improvise with everything but Mexican cheese blend. Every month or so we drive 120 miles to a larger city that has a full blown Walmart and a Costco and only once did I see the cheese in Walmart. I really do not want to buy a 2lb. block of cheddar from Costco for this. Any ideas what cheeses I could use?
Michaela Kenkel says
Dan, The Mexican cheese blend has Monterey Jack, Mild Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla and Asadero cheeses. I bet you are able to get the Asadero and the Queso cheese maybe? Otherwise a Monterey jack would work great, too? Do you have those?
Erica says
How many people will the recipe serve?
Ps looks great can’t wait to try!
Michaela Kenkel says
Hi, Erica! It makes a big batch. Depending on what other food you have there, and portion size, as a snack I bet it would serve at least 15-20.
Danielle White says
This dip is so good! My friend at work made it for our dip day (he didn’t want to comment so I said I would) and he added smoked chipotle powder and it gave it a nice smokey kick. Definitely recommend!
Michaela Kenkel says
I am so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to share that with me! <3
Joseph says
Thank you for posting this recipe. I made it Wednesday night and am entering it into a contest Friday morning/afternoon. Do I continue to let it sit the whole time or stir it in between a few times?
Michaela Kenkel says
I am sorry I am seeing this a day late — It should have been fine either way. How did it go?
Jane says
Can you freeze left overs? I know there are not suppose to be leftovers, it’s a big recipie.
Michaela Kenkel says
I have never tried? If you do, I would love to know the outcome?
Amy says
Do you know measurement of 3bunches of green onions? My store has all kinds of sizes and not exactly sure how many I should use.
Michaela Kenkel says
I have never measured, I probably should!! I would say like 15 small?
Sabrina S. says
Just made this as an appetizer for Christmas. Delicious dish, cant wait to taste it after I refrigerate it for a few hours! I did drain to chilies alittle though because I didnt want it to be too watery, and omitted the jalapenos (allergies), turned out great!! Thanks!
Michaela Kenkel says
I am so happy you like it!! It’s a keeper, for sure!!
Terri says
Great dip! Canada does have mexicorn so I added red bell peppers and a quarter of a fresh jalapeno (seeds & all).
Has anyone tried freezing this? I have over half leftover!
We also wondered what it would be like baked.
Michaela Kenkel says
I am happy that you liked it! I myself have never frozen it, nor have I heated it up. If you try it – will you come back and let me know?
Sabrina says
Made this last night to enjoy today, (Super Bowl Sunday), but we watch the Puppy Bowl. After reading all the reviews, I had to try it. It’s sooooo good. My husband loved it as well. I even put his favorite layered dip out as well and he only ate a little of it and said he like the new stuff more now. I can’t wait till there’s a reason to make it again. Thank you for the recipe. I’m sure when I make it again, others will be asking for the recipe too.
Michaela Kenkel says
That makes me so happy to hear!
Dilara says
Is this dip served cold and warm?
Michaela Kenkel says
It is served cold.
Dave Parsell says
Sensational dip, everybody loves it. Lived in San Diego back in the late 90s and it brings back memories of Old Town every time I make it.
Dave in Tasmania.
Michaela Kenkel says
I LOVE Old Town!! I lived in San Diego for a bit myself, and we visit at least once a year. Happy it brings you good memories and that you love it like we do!
Rieka says
I’ve made this for four years now and it’s a crazy huge crowd pleaser. We couldn’t believe how good it tasted really- considering I don’t normally use mayonnaise outside of a sandwich! It definitely deserves 5 stars.
Michaela Kenkel says

Marla says
Thought this was good but I added for a little more flavor. Added 1 pkg dry HVR dressing, chopped black olives and a fresh red pepper. Delicious!

I stumbled upon this recipe while searching for corn dip recipes. It sounds amazing & I’m looking forward to trying it! One thing I saw that I wanted to clarify, you say 3 bunches of green onions. Do you really mean 3 whole bunches or just 3 individual stalks? 3 bunches would be approx 21-22 individual stalks & that seems like waaay too much green onion & I love green onion! Just thought I’d ask..
& just for the heck of it, I added a pic of a bunch of onions 🙂

I know it sounds crazy! But yes, it’s 3 bunches. I know the bunches can vary, but typically there are about 5-6 per bunch. It just works!

Help, I need to know which one regular canned jalapeños, or pickled? There are two different answers given. Please e Mail me ASAP. Thank you Bonnie Crim
Michaela Kenkel says
I always use the ones in the jar – they are pickled.

Delicious! My friends came into town for a few days. I originally made a 1/2 batch; however, the couldn’t stop eating it so I made it 3 more times!
Michaela Kenkel says
So happy that you liked it!!
Meredith says
This says 2819 calories per serving?! Is that correct or is that for the entire dip?
Michaela Kenkel says
Yikes! Not sure what happened there! Yes, that was for the whole bowl! This makes a lot! (perfect for a party!) It’s fixed now.
Parisa says
Love this dip!! I add a packet of fiesta ranch seasoning and use cream cheese instead of Mayo to make it a little thicker! It’s always a hit!
Michaela Kenkel says
Makes me happy to hear that you liked it!
Dana says
I’m assuming fresh corn would work??
Michaela Kenkel says
This dip is actually made with Mexicorn, which contains some peppers, too. If you try it, make sure the corn is cooked and add some red peppers, too! Let me know what you think.
leslie says
can i use greek yogurt instead of the mayo?
Michaela Kenkel says
Greek yogurt is typically a good replacement for sour cream, but it’s entirely different from mayo. It would change the flavor of the dip considerably.
Marsha Tucker says
I have made your recipe a lot and bring it to all kinds of parties!! Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe! I have never sent a comment on a recipe before. It came to mind to comment today because I am making it again for a Birthday Party next weekend. Thanks again, this one is a real keeper!!
Michaela Kenkel says
Marsha – thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me! I am so happy that you love it, too!
Jennifer G says
Can i sub something else for the Mayo?
Michaela Kenkel says
Without completely altering the taste, no. I am unsure why? Is it a flavor thing or an allergy?
Reece says
Omg I added a packet of ranch and 5 strips of crispy bacon. Wowwwwwwww! Was good before but these additions made it more addictive than “, crack” 🙂
Michaela Kenkel says
Happy that you found a way to make it your own and that you enjoyed it!
Liz says
Can I substitute the Mayo with plain Greek yoghurt?
Michaela Kenkel says
It will change the taste completely, but the consistency should be close.
