  2. As soon as the butter is melted, toss in the corn. Add salt and pepper. Cook at high heat. If the corn is frozen, it will take about 10 minutes to brown, but it will be closer to 5 if it's thawed. When the corn is almost ready, it will become light brown.

  5. Add chopped onions and pepper. Cook these ingredients for about 3-4 minutes (or until they become soft), lower your heat to low and add garlic. Keep cooking for about a minute, add it to your corn. Pre-heat the oven to 190 C (350F).

  6. Add about a cup of your cheese and mayo.  The dish should not be too saucy, but it should not be too thick as well so that you could dip it well. Oh, and add cayenne, of course! Spread it across your baking pan. I used the one made of foil.

  7. Spread grated cheese above the dish.

  9. Bake the dish until the edges become light brown. This usually takes around 10-20 minutes depending upon the amount of your dip. By the way, this dish is great for being heated up later, so, you can cook it well in advance. Bon appétit!

History of the Hot Corn Dip:

The Hot Corn Dip recipe is a popular Mexican dish that has become a favorite in American cuisine. Originally, this dish was made with fresh corn, but as it became more popular, people began using frozen corn instead. The combination of corn, spices, and cheese creates a perfect blend of flavors and has made this dip a staple at parties and gatherings.

Tips and Tricks for Hot Corn Dip Recipe:

  • If you want to add some extra spice, try adding some hot sauce, chopped jalapenos, or crushed red pepper flakes. This will give your dish more of a kick and add some heat to the mix.
  • You can also use different types of cheese to give this dish a different flavor. For example, you can use pepper jack cheese or cheddar cheese instead of the hard cheese listed in the recipe.
  • You can make this dip ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. This way, you can easily prepare it before your gathering and have it ready in no time.

Tips for presenting the dish:

  • Serve the dip in a shallow dish so that it is easy for your guests to scoop up with tortilla chips.
  • You can also sprinkle extra cheese on top of the dip before serving, which will create a nice melted cheese effect.
  • Garnishing the dish with chopped cilantro or sliced jalapenos can also add some color and flavor to the dish.
