Hot Cheesy Corn Dip
This Hot Cheesy Corn Dip combines corn, green chile peppers, Monterey Jack, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise for a creamy, savory appetizer. The mixture is baked until bubbly and topped with melted cheese that browns lightly. The texture is creamy with bursts of corn sweetness and mild heat from the chiles, enhanced by the smooth, melted cheeses and mayo binding the 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.
