Method of preparing the Cheesy Corn & Jalapeno Dip:

In an 8-inch oven-safe skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until brown and crispy. Remove the bacon from the grease and drain it on a paper towel. Keep the skillet for later use.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbling.

Garnish the dip with the reserved corn, basil, and bacon.
