Hot Corn Dip With Crispy Tortilla Chips image

Here's a different type of dip recipe. You can use frozen corn if need be. If you use canned corn (ugh).. please be sure to drain and rinse well to get that funky taste out of it. I always add more jalapeño peppers. Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001

Yield 6 cups of dip

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 1/2 cups corn kernels (from 4 ears fresh white or yellow corn)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onion (green and white parts)

2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2-1 cup mayonnaise
4 ounces monterey jack cheese or 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° degrees F.

  • Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet.

  • Transfer to the bowl with the corn.
  • Add the mayonnaise, 1/2 of the monterey jack and half of the cheddar, and the cayenne and mix well.
  • Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
