Corn Dip Recipe - Belly Full (2024)

This Mexican Corn Dip recipe is pure comfort food and ridiculously easy to make! It gets a little heat from jalapeno peppers and chiles, but is balanced out nicely by sour cream and cheese. Baked in the oven until it’s nice and bubbly, it’s the best hot appetizer for any get together!

Serve this dip with tortilla chips alongside some Restaurant Style Salsa. Or make it a meal next to Chile Relleno Casserole and Spanish Rice.

Easy Mexican Corn Dip

Years ago, my husband and I owned 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.

They served a corn dip that was more like a salsa – we couldn’t get enough of it. Then one day, some lady eating near us said “add some sour cream and mayo to it, bake it, and enjoy it hot. It will rock your world.” She was 100% American. Lol. I loved the idea of this and tried to recreate it at home. I’ve been making it that way since.

This hot corn dip has seen many get-togethers with us and is always a hit with friends and family. The flavors are well balanced with a little heat, sweetness, and tang. All you need is a few minutes to mix everything together, then bake it until the cheese is hot and gooey. So good!

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. (Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

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.
