This recipe only calls for 6 ingredients, it’s that easy!
It’s officially the season of backyard BBQs and pool parties! Summer potlucks are a staple of any respectable southerner’s social calendar, and I am no exception! I have two BBQ Potlucks scheduled for this weekend alone! In fact, I first learned about this recipe for corn dip at a summer cookout a number of years ago. I think I ate half the bowl by myself! So when I got home that afternoon, I sat down to search for something similar I could add to my list of potluck recipes. Thankfully, a quick Pinterest search yielded exactly what I was looking for. This corn dip recipe comes courtesy of Sunshine Recipes, and it’s definitely one of my go-to potluck recipes because of how easy and delicious it is!
First, add the drained corn to the bowl
So, if you’re on the hunt for a simple yet delicious potluck side, look no further! This dish is just 6 ingredients, and the prep time is essentially zero.
one cup of mayo – totally health food, right?
Open and drain all three cans of corn, and add them to a large Tupperware container. Add in the sour cream, mayo, and cheddar and mix well to combine.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine
Dice green onions and sprinkle over dip. Feel free to leave them on top or mix them into the dip.
sprinkle green onions over the dip – feel free to mix them in!
And that’s it! All done! Easy, right? I usually make this recipe 1-2 days before I need it, so that the flavors can meld in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, simply take out of the fridge and serve with tortilla chips or Fritos. Feel free to use a fancy serving platter instead of the Tupperware container, if you’re having a high-brow party!
The final dip, ready for all your backyard BBQ guests to dig in!

This is a simple and delicious dip to make. I had a hard time locating Mexicorn, used to find it locally, not anymore so i used a can of Southwestern corn. Worked just fine. I love green onions so i mixed in more into the dip beside sprinkling on top. I served with tortilla chips
Thanks for the comment! I also have difficulty finding Mexicorn occasionally, but southwestern corn works just as well! Glad you enjoyed it!
