Notes

  • Optional garnishes: Corn kernels, crumbled bacon, diced red bell pepper and cilantro.
  • orn kernels, crumbled bacon, diced red bell pepper and cilantro.
  • The cream cheese should be very soft so that it can be whisked together with the sour cream. You could also use a mixer if you prefer, but in this case it's not critical that the cream cheese be completely smooth since it will melt when it goes into the oven. 
  • This dip is fairly mild, but if you prefer to make it spicy, use a can of diced jalapenos instead of the green chilies.
  • Make this corn dip ahead of time for game day or get-togethers. You can store the uncooked dip in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
