Ingredients
Corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
Cream cheese
Shredded cheese (like Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
Mayonnaise or sour cream
Spices (e.g., chili powder, cumin, garlic powder)
Optional: Green chilies or jalapeƱos
Instructions
Prepare your corn according to your preference (e.g., thaw if frozen, drain if canned).
In a saucepan or oven-safe dish, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheese.
Heat gently, stirring until the cheeses are melted and smooth.
Stir in the mayonnaise or sour cream until the mixture is creamy.
Add your corn and seasonings. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
If baking, transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake until bubbly and lightly browned on top.
If serving warm on the stovetop, continue to heat gently until hot throughout.
Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.
Notes
Adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeƱo or chili powder.
This dip tastes even better after the flavors meld for about 30 minutes.
You can make this entirely on the stovetop for a quick version.
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
