Cheesy Bacon Corn Spread

Creamy corn dip with crispy bacon, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Uses sour cream instead of ranch powder and replaces cream cheese with ricotta for lighter texture. Baked until bubbling and golden. Served with crunchy dippers for contrast. Prep quick, cooks in cast iron for even heat and rustic look. Timing by bubbling and color rather than stopwatch. Avoid rubbery cheese by layering in last 5 minutes. Crunchy corn kernels stay alive, bacon fat seeps through. Easy, no-fuss, versatile. Good make-ahead option; reheat gently to keep creamy. Handles shifts in oven hot spots by monitoring edges—too brown means pull earlier. Multipurpose base for tweaks with jalapeño or smoked paprika for heat. Practical, foolproof, crowd-pleaser.
