One of my favorite dips to make during football season is this corn dip. I got the recipe a few years ago and it’s become a staple in our house. When someone tries it for the first time, they can’t leave without getting the recipe; it’s that addicting. The key ingredients are corn, cheese and chipotle peppers. You can adjust the heat level by adding or subtracting the amount of chipotle peppers. Personally, I love a lot of chipotle peppers, it gives it a great zing. You can also change up the amount of cheese. I’ve made it with more of the montery jack than the chedder and it’s worked out great. The addition of fresh ingredients at the end of baking, rounds out a perfect party dip.
Hot Corn Dip:
- 2 cups shredded chedder cheese
- 1 cup shredded Montery Jack
- 2 tbs chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, diced small
- 1 small can (4oz) diced green chilies, undrained
- 1/2 cup Mayo
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 11oz can of corn, drained
- 1 small tomato
- 2 tbs cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbs green onions, sliced thin
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the cheeses, chiptole and green peppers, mayo, garlic powder and corn together. Pour into an oven safe dish.
- Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly
- Top with diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Wow this sounds like a perfect yummy dip for a party. I love cheesy corn dip. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds great!
Saw this on pinterest and can’t way to give it a try.
Is it one can of diced green chilis or green peppers?? I have never seen canned green peppers.
You are correct, and I corrected the recipe to show it’s 1 can (4oz) diced green chilies. Sorry about that.
I made it for a family gathering. I thought it might be spicy, but it wasn’t overboard. It has a nice smoky flavor. We ate it with corn chips. Even the kids liked it. YUM!
Friends brought this over last night after getting the recipe from you and Pinterest. Oh. My. Goodness. It’s fantastic.
I’m so glad you liked it, thanks!
Can you tell me how many servings you get from the hot corn dip recipe?
I would say this dip serves about 4-6 depending on how many other things you serve with it. I can honestly say that I never have leftovers so doubling up is never a bad idea.
That is some nice looking corn dip! I really enjoy the sweet and savoury combo of a corn dip.
I would love to serve this at a party in my crock pot. Do you think that would be possible?
I think putting in a crock pot would work just fine. What I would recommend is to serve the tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro on the side. People could then add the fresh ingredients to their plate and use as much as they would like. Have fun at your party!
This is probably a silly question but do you discard the seeds from the chipotle peppers? Thanks!
I don’t but the seeds might give it more heat than you would like. You can always scrape away as many seeds as you want.
How neat! Is it relaly this simple? You make it look easy.
Where can I find chipotle peppers in the grocery store?
You can find them in the Mexican/International aisle of your grocery store.I sometimes have to go to Walmart to get it. This is what the can might look like. http://www.amazon.com/Costena-Chipotle-Peppers-Adobo-Sauce/dp/B0000GGHVU
I cooked this for a game night and it was fantastic! I got this from pintrest and I would definately cook it again!
This sounds great, but I have an aversion to mayo. Do you think that cream cheese would be an acceptable substitute?
It would change the consistency a bit but it might be ok. Do you like yogurt or even cottage cheese? I am thinking Greek yogurt might be a really nice substitute or even processing cottage cheese in a blender to thin it out could work too. Let me know what you end up doing, I’ll be very curious to see how any of those turns out.
About how many cups of corn are in an 11 oz can? I’d prefer to use fresh or frozen.
I’ve never measured it but I am going to guess around a 1/2cups – 3/4cups. Fresh corn would be wonderful in this!
Can I use frozen corn?
I’m sure you could, use around 1/2cup – 3/4cups.
How many people does this serve?
At least 4-6 it all depends on how many other items are also being served. If you have more than 6-8 people to serve I would double the recipe to make sure you have enough.
It’s in the oven now, can’t wait to taste it!
This looks so good and I would like to make it but wasn’t sure what kind of mayo to use because that can make a huge difference. Do you mind telling me what you used? Also having a hard time finding the chipotle chilis in adobo sauce!
Thanks!!

I use Hellmann’s mayo. Have you tried looking at your local Walmart for the chipotle chilis? I’ve always seen them there, and that is where I have to go to get mine. Good Luck!
I love the idea, although instead of the mayo, I would probably use sour cream.
Just made this today. It was amazing. Thanks for the recipe!I will be making this again.
Pinned this, made this, loved this and just posted about this!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Trader Joes has bags of frozen roasted corn. That could really add to the taste.
