Ingredients
  

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup frozen sweet corn (thawed)

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped (optional for heat)

1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Tortilla chips (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them and place them on a paper towel to drain. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and jalapeño (if using) to the reserved bacon grease. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

      Combine Cream Cheese and Cheddar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and shredded Monterey Jack. Mix until well blended.

        Add Other Ingredients: Fold in the onion-jalapeño mixture, thawed corn, cooked bacon (reserve a little for garnish), diced tomatoes with green chilies, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper into the cheese mixture. Stir well until everything is combined.

          Heat the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and heat on low for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses are melted and gooey. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes in an oven-safe dish.

            Garnish: Once the dip is fully melted and heated through, remove it from the heat. Top with reserved crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of cilantro for freshness.

              Serve: Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
