Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix together corn, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheeses, jalapeño, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter on top for extra richness.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Notes
- Use Fresh Corn When Possible: It adds the best flavor.
- Make It Spicier: Add more jalapeños or a dash of cayenne.
