Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 tbsp Butter
3 1/2 cups Fresh Corn Kernels
Frozen Corn Kernels (optional)
1 Onion
1/2 Red Bell Pepper
1 Jalapeno Pepper
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Tortilla Chips

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Corn:

    • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the fresh corn kernels along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels turn a deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. You’ll hear delightful popping sounds as the corn cooks.
  2. Saute the Veggies:

    • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
    • Add finely chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking until the onions are translucent, approximately 2 minutes.
    • Introduce diced jalapeno and minced garlic, continuing to cook and stir until the veggies are softened, around 2 minutes more.
  3. Combine and Cool:

    • Transfer the sauteed vegetable mixture into the bowl with the golden brown corn. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. Preheat and Mix:

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
    • To the cooled corn and veggie mixture, add mayonnaise, 1 cup of grated Monterey Jack cheese, and a hint of cayenne pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Bake and Serve:

    • Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
    • Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top for that gooey, cheesy goodness.
    • Bake in the preheated oven until the dip is bubbly and the cheese turns a glorious golden brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
    • Serve piping hot alongside crispy tortilla chips and watch it disappear in no time!

With its irresistible blend of sweet corn, spicy jalapeno, creamy cheese, and a hint of cayenne, this No-Leftover Corn Dip is destined to become a staple at your gatherings.
