This Corn Dip is hands down one of my favorite recipes on my site. That’s saying a lot because there are so many that I love, but this one is truly special.
When I say it will knock your socks off, that is exactly what I mean. OH YES. This is the ultimate, my friends!
I got this recipe from a coworker when I was teaching in Kansas about 10 years ago. I started making it for game nights with our neighbors when we were stationed at Fort Riley and it was always a big hit.
I’ve been making this corn dip for get togethers and parties ever since. Every time I make it someone asks for the recipe, and there is never any left to take home!
Ingredients for Corn Dip
- can of corn
- Mayonnaise
- canned chopped green chiles
- chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- Monterrey Jack cheese
- cheddar cheese
- garlic powder
- pepper
- chopped tomato, green onions, and cilantro
How to Make Corn Dip – Step by Step
Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix ingredients
Combine corn, mayonnaise, green chiles, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, cheeses, garlic powder, and pepper in a medium sized bowl and mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
Step 3: Bake
Bake the corn dip for 20 minutes in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly.
Step 4: Serve
Top with chopped tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
Tips and Notes
- Shred the cheese yourself: this step is important! Use a block of Monterrey Jack cheese and a block of cheddar and shred it yourself for the best taste and texture. It will taste so much better than pre-shredded cheese and melts beautifully!
- Adjusting the spice level: This dip gets a little kick from the chipotle pepper, but I promise it’s not too spicy. I remove all of the seeds from my chipotle pepper by cutting it open and scraping them out. You can leave the seeds in if you want it to be spicy (that’s where the heat is.)
- How to store: this corn dip is best eaten right away while it’s hot and fresh, but leftovers are delicious too. If you have any leftover, just store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm in the microwave to serve again.
