Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1 can (4 oz) diced jalapeños (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering and preparing all your ingredients. If you’re using fresh corn, you’ll want to cut it off the cob and cook it briefly in boiling water. If you’re using canned or frozen corn, simply drain and rinse it. Dice your red bell pepper and chop the green onions, ensuring everything is ready for mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy. This will create a luscious base for your dip that’s rich and inviting.
- Once your cream cheese and sour cream are well mixed, it’s time to fold in the remaining ingredients. Add in the corn, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, green onions, jalapeños (if using), garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Gently mix everything together until well combined, ensuring that every ingredient is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- You can choose to serve your Corn Dip two ways. For a warm, gooey version, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the dip into a baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. If you prefer a cold dip, simply cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once your Corn Dip is ready, it’s time to serve! If you baked it, let it cool slightly before serving. You can garnish it with extra diced green onions or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color. Arrange tortilla chips around the bowl and watch as your guests dive in!
