Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sweet corn, drained
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced green chilies (optional, for added heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
Stir in the drained sweet corn, green chilies (if using), and green onions (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
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.
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.
