Description

This creamy, zesty corn dip is the ultimate party appetizer that disappears fast. Made with simple ingredients and ready in 15 minutes, it’s perfect for game day, potlucks, or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (4.5 ounces) diced green chiles, undrained
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained corn, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
  2. Add Flavor: To the same bowl, add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chiles (with their juices), red onion, cilantro, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper.
  3. Mix and Season: Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the cheese and spices are evenly distributed throughout the dip. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and stir again.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your dip and add salt as needed. The amount will depend on the saltiness of your mayonnaise and cheese. Give it one final stir.
  5. Chill or Bake: For a cold corn dip, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. For a hot corn dip, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden on top.

Notes

For best flavor, let the cold dip chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. You can make this dip a day ahead. Do not freeze as the dairy will separate. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and light mayonnaise.
