Ingredients

• Canned corn – All you need is a can of whole corn kernels. If you don’t have canned, you can substitute with thawed frozen corn or even fresh corn. I have also used canned Southwest corn or Mexicorn.
• Cream cheese – I recommend softening the cream cheese at room temperature to make sure when you mix, it will become creamy.
• Sour cream – Adds a nice creaminess to the dip.
• Mayonnaise – This adds a hint or rich flavor.
• Taco seasoning – You can use prepackaged seasoning or homemade taco seasoning.
• Lime juice – Adds fresh, bright, citrus flavor to the dip.
• Cheese – I am using shredded cheddar cheese but feel free to use your favorite cheese or blend.
• Green chiles – I like using canned green chiles but you could substitute with diced jalapeños.
• Peppers – Diced bell pepper adds color and crunch.
• Green onion – 2-3 diced green onions. You could substitute with diced red onion for added color.

Heather’s recipe tips

Here are a few of my favorite tips for making this cream cheese corn dip.

• Soften the cream cheese. Let the cream cheese sit out at room temperature for about 15 minutes before mixing.
• Drain well. Be sure to drain any extra liquid from the canned corn and green chilis.
• Make it spicy. If you like a little heat, add diced jalapenos or hot sauce.
