Just like in past years here on the blog, you can expect some football fun throughout the fall. We’re kicking off this season with a tasty corn dip recipe!

Thanks for putting this together! That dip sounds AH-MAZ-ING! I pinned it to make next time I have people over. Go Huskers!
Can you omit the green peppers? If not, is the dip spicy?…thanks
I’m sure you could, but it would change the flavor a bit. The dip is a bit spicy, but definitely not overly so. 🙂
If I doubled the recipe do I need to double the time as well?
Dip is awesome. Great for friends get together.
Tried this dip without chilies and it was divine! Love this recipe thank you!
This dip is good. I will use 1 cup pepper jack cheese next time to add some kick. It’s very mild as written, but still tasty. Might also cook onion first.
I am a very picky eater…this is delish!! I made for a church gathering…Every bit was gone, so I made my own dish of it….So good!!!
Could I use garlic and herb cream cheese?
I’m sure you could! Let us know if it turned out!
Can this be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to go in oven? TIA 🙂
Yes! You could totally make this ahead – I’d say the night before or morning of and then refrigerate until baking!
I’ve been looking for new dips ideas to try and this one is on my list. Thanks
Loved this recipe…so did everyone else who devoured it! I did change it a bit by adding fresh garlic and fresh red bell peppers for color. I reserved a bit of the corn, chopped it fine and roasted it to add to the top with a bit of green scallions.
So glad everyone enjoyed it, Susan! Thanks for commenting to let us know!
I added 1-2 tbs sugar and and some crushed pepper flakes. The hint of sweet/warmth, added great flavor!
I added a little sugar and crushed pepper flakes. It enhanced all the flavors nicely!

I have made this so many times and it is devoured every time!! I make it as is, it doesn’t need anything else!
