"From the blog "Foodie with Family". I have not made this, but this would be great for a potluck, picnic or party. The blogger says that it makes a lot, but that it will keep for about 5 days. I took a guess at servings, for all I know it may serve more."

ingredients

2 lbs frozen sweet corn
8 ounces neufchatel cheese, cut into cubes
8 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated
³⁄₄ cup sour cream
3 jalapeno peppers, stem and seeds removed, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced (or pressed through a garlic press)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb bacon, cooked until crisp
6 green onions, green parts only, thinly sliced, then minced

directions

Lightly coat the crock of a slow-cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil. (I would probably use a 3 or 4 qt cooker).
Stir together the sweet corn, cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, garlic, salt, and pepper. Put the lid on the slow-cooker and set the cooker to LOW. Cook for 2-3 hours, or until the contents are uniformly hot, the cheese is melted, and the corn and jalapeno are coated with a creamy sauce.
While the mixture is cooking, finely chop the crispy bacon and reserve 1 tablespoon of the chopped bacon along with 2 teaspoons of the minced green onion.
Stir the remaining bacon and green onion into the hot dip then scoop the dip into a serving dish. Sprinkle the reserved bacon and green onion over the top and serve with chips or as a side dish.
Leftovers can be stored, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat covered but vented in a microwave on HIGH until hot all the way through.
Note: I made only half the recipe. I mixed everything in a heat-proof bowl that fits into my 5 qt crockpot. I did mix everything about an hour after starting. I used a bit less bacon, since I'm the only one enjoying this, and I thought that tasted good. This is also good on baked potatoes.

Reviews

This dip made for a great app for pre-Thanksgiving dinner. We all enjoyed it and my daughter kept on going seconds, thirds, etc. I added a can of black beans (rinsed and drained) to the mix and it gave it some good flavor and texture. Loved the ease of it by having it cook in a slow cooker, while I was making dinner. Thank you, duonyte, for sharing. Made it for FYC.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
