Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-combined.

Step 3: Add the Corn and Chilies

Stir in the drained sweet corn, green chilies (if using), and green onions (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 4: Bake the Dip

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar size baking dish. Spread it out evenly.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden on top.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro (optional). Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Notes

For Extra Creaminess: You can add a little more sour cream or even some mayonnaise for extra creaminess.
Add Protein: Make it a heartier dish by adding cooked shredded chicken or bacon bits.
Make Ahead: Prepare the dip ahead of time and refrigerate. Just bake when ready to serve.
Control the Heat: For a milder dip, skip the green chilies. For more spice, add jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper.
