This cheesy Corn Dip recipe is pure comfort food and ridiculously easy to make! Made a little spicy with jalapeno peppers and chiles, it’s baked in the oven until it’s nice and hot. It’s the best Mexican appetizer for any get together!

My husband and I used to own a little house right next door to a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant (the best kind, right?) I mean, we literally could step outside our front door and walk about 300 feet and Bam! the best authentic Mexican food. Needless to say, we ate there A LOT. We’ve lived in a few places since those days and were so excited to take the kids back there when they were old enough.
They hated it.
They don’t like enchiladas, or tacos, or burritos, or quesadillas. Who doesn’t like quesadillas??? After many years, I’ve decided they just don’t care for flour or corn tortillas. Or beans. And cumin…. and certainly those things put together. So, you know, Mexican food.
It’s killing me a little.
They do love tortilla chips with salsa, guacamole, or Queso dip, though. Go figure. So I made this Corn Dip when we had friends over, thinking this would surely be a hit, and….success!

How to Make Corn Dip
This has got to be one of the easiest dips to make in the history of hot dips. Mix everything together in a bowl, transfer to a greased casserole dish, and bake until hot and bubbly. That’s it!
Recipe Variations
- Leave out the jalapenos if you like things a little less spicy.
- Replace the sour cream with plain greek yogurt to give this dip a little protein boost.
- Change up the cheese to whichever one(s) you like best! Or sprinkle cotija on top once it’s done baking to make it even cheesier.
Prep It Ahead Of Time
You can easily make this dip ahead of time! Combine all the ingredients and place the mixture in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. Take the dish out and remove the plastic wrap while you preheat the oven to give the dish a chance to come to room temperature, then follow the baking directions.

Other Notes
This was so good, Mine turned out a little watery but I don’t measure anything so added more corn to compensate. I used fresh sweet corn on the cob and home roasted hatch green chilies, tis the season. And, probably doubled the chilies. Fantastic Amy thanks. Kids loved it too!
This corn dip is absolutely delicious! My husband and came home for lunch just for this dip. Thank you!
So quick and easy.
Sneak in that nutrition any way you can! That’s my motto anyways – this dip looks delish!
This was insanely good!
My whole family loved this! You kids are crazy. LOL.
You are a better parent than I . Had my son not been an agreeable eater as a child, it may have effected our relationship. I would have not been able to hide my disappointment. No mexican food? I can’t even.
Thanks for this recipe. Sounds delicious. So much comfort food.
This made me laugh because J&C are exactly the same- they hate all Mexican food but love tortilla chips and salsa. Go figure! I will make this for me!
Weirdos, right??? You and Randy could love it!
Mmm…this looks yummy! And I agree, who doesn’t like quesadillas?!
