Description
Make this warm, cheesy corn dip with cream cheese and taco seasoning. It is a simple, one-dish appetizer perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a small oven-safe skillet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the thawed corn, 3/4 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan cheese, taco seasoning, and diced green chilies. Mix everything until it is well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
- Top the dip with the remaining 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
- If you prefer to use a slow cooker, combine all ingredients (reserving the top cheese layer for the last 30 minutes), place in a small slow cooker, and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours or on high for 1 to 1.5 hours. Add the remaining cheese for the last 30 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, if using, before serving hot.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
- To keep this easy party dip warm on your buffet, place the serving dish over a low-heat warming tray or in the slow cooker set to the ‘Keep Warm’ setting.
- Serve this cheesy corn dip with tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, or vegetable sticks.
