Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Skillet (optional for sautéing corn)
• Spoon or spatula
• Baking dish (if serving warm)

Ingredients Overview

• Corn: Sweet corn is the star of the dish. Use canned, frozen, or fresh corn.
• Cream Cheese & Sour Cream: Create a creamy, tangy base for the dip.
• Cheese: Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack adds a gooey, cheesy texture.
• Jalapeños: Add a touch of heat. Adjust to your spice preference.
• Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika give the dip a flavorful kick.
• Green Onions or Cilantro: Add freshness and a pop of color.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Corn

• If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cob and sauté in a skillet with a little butter until lightly charred. If using canned or frozen corn, drain well and sauté or use as is.

2. Mix the Dip

• In a large bowl, combine:
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Mix until well combined.

3. Optional: Heat the Dip

• For a warm dip, transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

4. Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle with chopped green onions or cilantro for added flavor and presentation. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks.

Recipe Tips

• Make Ahead: Prepare the dip up to a day in advance and refrigerate. If serving warm, bake just before serving.
• Adjust Spice Level: Add more or fewer jalapeños to control the heat, or include a pinch of cayenne for an extra kick.
• Cheese Choices: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette make perfect dippers.
• Serve alongside a veggie platter for a lighter option.
