Bacon Corn Dip

Another appetizer I decided to test for the aforementioned party, was this "Bacon Corn Dip", from the website "Damn Delicious".

Prep Time: 
10 minutes

Cook Time:
15 minutes

Yield:
4 servings

Ingredients:

4 Slices of bacon (I doubled it)
3 Cups of corn kernels, frozen, canned or roasted
1/2 Cup diced onion (I used red onion)
1/4 Cup diced red bell pepper
1 Jalapeño, seeded and diced
4 Ounces of cream cheese
2 Tbsp of milk (or more if needed)
2 Green onions, thinly sliced
1 Tsp sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Chop up onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño and green onions.  Combine everything but the green onions with the corn; set green onions aside seperately 
Meanwhile fry or bake the bacon until crispy
During the trial run I fried the bacon, however when we made it for the party I baked it in the oven and it came out perfectly crunchy! 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Break up bacon into small pieces/bits
Pour corn mixture into skillet, 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).  Stir in green onions and sugar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Then sprinkle with bacon! Again, I doubled the amount of bacon; don't think you can really go wrong with that! :)
Serve hot and with tortilla chips
This dip turned out very tasty and was a huge hit at the party!  I had multiple requests for the recipe, and again there were no leftovers!  I will definitely be making this again for gatherings seeing as it is easily prepared for large crowds and quite the people pleaser as well. 

*For the party of around 120 people with multiple appetizers, I quadrupled the recipe.  It was gone quick! So if you want it to last I would make more, however if served with many other appetizers and dishes, it should be fine.
