Corn – You are welcome to use drained canned corn, fresh off the cob, or frozen.

Cheese – We are a cheese family so we add a little extra. But you can always do less or more cheese.

Bell Pepper – we used a green bell pepper. You are welcome to use any color or variety you want.

Red Onion – The red onion adds a nice bite of flavor. If you are not a fan of onions you can leave them out.

Mayo – This is the creaminess of the corn dip.

Taco Seasoning – You can use mild, medium or hot. Or go ahead and make your own DIY taco seasoning.

Variations To Recipe

• Swap out and do half sour cream half mayonnaise for a slight flavor change.
• Leave out taco seasoning if you would like.
• Crush up 2 cups of corn chips finely and mix in the dip. It will make chips soggy but adds flavor.

• Consider making this a corn dip with rotel

Storing Corn Dip

Kitchen notes

Frito Chips –

Some people love mixing the corn chips in the dip, if you do not like soggy chips skip this option. We find we prefer it just dipping the corn dip on chips. But you can crush and mix in 1/2-1 cup. Cheese – We used sharp cheddar, but you can use a Monterey jack, pepper jack, or any other variety of cheese. Storing – Make sure to store the corn dip in the fridge in a covered dish. Toss well right before serving. Dipping – You can use crisp veggies like celery sticks for a dipper in the corn dip. Or opt for crackers, or even tortilla chips.
