What is Cool Ranch Corn Dip? 

Over the past few weeks, I've tested the top recipes on google and have eaten a ton of crack corn dip. 

To be quite honest, I always felt like there was something missing!

So this time around, I decided to go with my gut and nix the mayo. I just felt like it didn't really give anything to the recipe that the sour cream couldn't.

And once I made it like that, my brain had a lightbulb moment!

What if I mixed a packet of ranch seasoning into my crack corn dip?! I knew I had to do it.

You know what?! That was possibly the best decision I could have made!

I had tried hot sauce, and mustard, and other random things but the ranch packet gave it that extra pop that it needed!

And although I had bought original Ruffles to dip with, they were BOGO at Publix so I grabbed a bag of the "All Dressed Up" Ruffles as well.

To my surprise, this chip dip combo is a match made in heaven and I think everyone needs to try it. 

And before I keep blabbing on, I also want to point out how easy this dip is.

The hardest part of this recipe is not eating it all before serving time... but the fact that you can make it in under 5 minutes comes in close second.

How to make it

Making this corn dip is beyond easy. In fact, it's one of the easiest recipes on my entire blog!

All you need to do is get everything out and grab a big mixing bowl and a large spoon.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 2 regular cans of southwestern corn (or cans of Mexicorn!)
• 1 small can of hatch green chiles
• a bag of shredded cheddar
• some chopped pickled jalapeños
• one bunch of scallions, finely diced - 1 tablespoon reserved
• sour cream
• a packet of ranch seasoning

After that, the hardest part about crack corn dip is opening the cans and draining the corn.

Now that everything is prepped, simply add it to a large bowl and stir everything together.

Place the dip in a serving bowl and top with the remaining scallions.

Pair the dip with chips of your choice and serve!

I recommend pairing this crack corn dip with a bag of Ruffles "All Dressed Up" chips as the flavor pairing might make you cry tears of happiness!

And if you'd like to make it ahead of time, go for it! Just store it in the fridge and give it a good stir ahead of serving time.
