Make this easy, no-bake Boat Dip, a creamy, savory appetizer popular for parties, tailgates, and summer gatherings. It comes together fast using simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until the base is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Stir in the drained Rotel, shredded cheddar cheese, and the entire packet of taco seasoning mix. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
  3. If you are using corn, fold in the thawed corn kernels now.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. You can serve immediately or cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve your **crowd pleasing appetizer** with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker dip, drain the Rotel very well or use less of the liquid.
  • This dip is excellent for **summer entertaining** and can be made ahead of time.
  • If you want more zest, add a teaspoon of lime juice to the mixture.
