Hot Cheesy Corn Dip
Description
The Hot Cheesy Corn Dip blends thawed corn and canned green chile peppers with Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheeses, along with mayonnaise, to create a rich, creamy base. Baking the mixture in a sprayed dish melts the cheese fully and results in a bubbly, lightly browned top. The dip offers a balance of sweetness from the corn and mild heat from the chiles, wrapped in a smooth, cheesy texture that’s easy to scoop with chips, crackers, or bread.
Serving immediately after baking gives the best texture and flavor. Leftovers store well covered in the refrigerator for up to five days and may be reheated gently in a microwave. This dip works well for parties or casual snacking where warm, dippable cheese-based spreads are desired.
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn thawed and drained if necessary (or substitute with fresh corn, frozen
- green chile peppers one 4-ounce can
- 1 ¾ cups Monterey jack cheese or Pepper Jack, divided (most of an 8-ounce package, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- ½ cup mayonnaise lite versions are okay, Hellman’s®/Best Foods® or MIRACLE WHIP
- Chips crackers or bread for serving (try Pringles® Tortillas, Rold Gold® Pretzel Thins, NABISCO crackers)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9-inch round pie dish with cooking spray; set aside
- In a large bowl add corn, green chiles, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan, mayo (I used lite MIRACLE WHIP), and stir to combine.
- Turn mixture out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese has melted and is bubbly, or is as golden browned as desired.
- Serve immediately with corn chips, tortilla chips, bread, or your favorite dipper.
Notes
- Serve the dip warm for optimal texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers airtight in the fridge up to 5 days and reheat gently.
- Use chips, crackers, or bread as dippers depending on preference.
- Substitute fresh or frozen corn for canned if preferred, ensuring it's thawed and drained.
