Alright, friends. This recipe for hot corn dip was originally shared with you back in 2008, but I’m updating it now in 2016 with some new photos and a video. The original photos were pretty horrendous, and this dip is way too delicious to look so ugly. 😉
This is one of those dip recipes that I make over and over again. Like my skinny pool dip, it gets rave reviews and is always one of the first things to go!
The dip is full of creamy melty cheese, onions, peppers, and plenty of corn! I like this best with fresh corn cut off the cob, but I often cheat and use a can of corn. I mean, I’m lazy. You all know that about me, don’t you?
The last time I made this was at one of our family get togethers and everyone was munching on it with chips before the meal. When dinner was served, a couple people put spoonfuls of this dip on their plate and ate it with their fork. It made me laugh, but really…it’s not super heavy like a traditional dip. It’s more vegetables than anything, so go ahead. Eat it with a fork. I won’t judge you!
Also, this is one of those foods that onion haters cry about. They can see how delicious it looks and they really want to dig in, but it’s full of onions. Normally I feel bad for the onion haters. I mean, if you’d stop being so picky, your life would be so much more delicious. But on this dip? No. I’m happy they exist, because that means there is more dip for me!
That probably makes me a bad person, doesn’t? It’s okay. I’ll go console myself with a bowl full of hot corn dip and a bag of Tostitos.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, I present you one of the worst photos I’ve ever taken:
Doesn’t that just make you want to dig right in? Haha!
Here’s to growth! And better lighting! And an understanding of how my camera functions. 😉

At what temperature do you bake the corn fish? You didn’t state that in the recipe.
Thanks!

Oh goodness, that was an old recipe that was written terribly (still a fav in our house though). I just updated it to be more clear. It bakes at 350. 🙂

This looks amazing and I too share all kudos offered by other commenters, however I find your frequent misuse of “your/you’re” very distracting.

I don’t think that there’s any one single formulation for being the best at everything but there certainly must be something to the fact that there are so many people out there who seem to be doing so much better than others. Nevertheless, I recently came across a formula that makes me think that some people actually do have an unfair advantage. Take a peek at the video. http://tinyurl.com/7q26jrv
