Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
  3. Add Cheese and Corn: Stir in the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, followed by the sweet corn. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Season the Dip: Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors uniformly.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a greased or lightly oiled baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn in-season for best sweetness and texture.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to make it slightly healthier.
  • Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; just warm it before serving.
  • For a smokier flavor, consider adding a dash of chipotle powder.
