Description
This Hot Corn Dip is creamy, cheesy, and perfectly balanced with the natural sweetness of
corn and the savory depth of garlic and spices. The melted cheese topping creates a golden
crust, while the inside stays rich and smooth. Every scoop delivers comforting warmth and
bold flavor.
Tips
- Add cooked bacon bits or diced jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Use roasted or grilled corn for a smoky twist.
- Stir in chili flakes if you enjoy a bit of heat.
- Serve immediately for the best creamy texture.
Correction
- If the dip is too thick, mix in a few tablespoons of milk before baking.
- If it becomes oily, reduce baking time and avoid high heat.
- Always soften the cream cheese before mixing to prevent lumps.
