Ingredients

3 cups corn kernels, thawed if frozen
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons Minnezona Jalapeño Garlic Seasoning
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 bag sturdy tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 1½-quart baking dish.
Mix corn, cream cheese, ¾ cup cheddar, sour cream, Jalapeño Garlic Seasoning, lime juice and half the green onions.
Spread in the baking dish and top with remaining cheddar.
Bake 20–25 minutes until bubbling around the edges and hot in the center.
Top with cilantro and remaining green onions. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

Recipe Notes

For more browning, broil 1–2 minutes after baking.
If assembled cold from the refrigerator, add about 5 minutes to baking time.
Fresh, frozen or well-drained canned corn can be used.

From the Minnezona kitchen

Hot corn dip sits somewhere between game-day food and backyard cookout food, which is exactly where Jalapeño Garlic feels at home. Sweet corn gives the pepper something to push against, while cream cheese and sour cream round out the heat.

This recipe is intentionally scoopable rather than runny. The cheese melts through the corn and the top browns slightly, so sturdy tortilla chips can carry a real bite instead of just a thin coating of dip.

It can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, then baked when people arrive. That makes it useful for parties where the best appetizer is the one you don't have to stand over at the last minute.

Suggested Sides

Fresh vegetable tray
Cool, crisp vegetables provide freshness and crunch against creamy cheese, eggs or rich dips.
Crisp tortilla chips or crackers
A sturdy, salty crunch gives creamy dishes textural contrast and an easy way to scoop and share.

Wine pairing

Pour a Glass

Sauvignon Blanc
High acidity cuts through creamy cheese and mayonnaise while citrus and herbal notes brighten jalapeño and garlic.
