Cheesy Hot Corn Dip Tips and Variations
Corn:The great thing about this recipe is you can use fresh, canned or even frozen corn. For a deeper rich caramelized flavor sauté your corn before adding it to the dip. Heat: Add more jalapeños or leave some of the seeds in if you want it spicier. Green Chilies: You can add a can of green chilies for a bigger flavor and kick. Spices: To add different zing, try subbing out the chili powder for Chipotle chili powder. Change out the paprika for smoked paprika for an intense smoky flavor. Add cumin too for an extra Mexican spice punch. Cheese: The cheese can be substituted. You can use cheddar, pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese or a mixture of them all. Sour Cream: If you don’t have sour cream you can use Mayonnaise instead, but do not use Miracle Whip. Honestly that would ruin it. Make ahead: You can easily put this together and throw it in the fridge till you need it. When ready pop it in the oven and cook as directed. You may need a bit longer to get the center done if it’s been cold long.
