Get ready folks, I’m about to share a Pflugradt family favorite. My Creamy Green Chili Corn Dip is a guaranteed “no complaints” food in our house.
Here’s what I love about this — besides the fact that it’s really delicious, it uses pantry, freezer, and fridge staples that you probably already have in the house. Main ingredients = corn, chilis, cheese. It doesn’t get much better than that.
If you have these staples on hand, you can probably whip this up tonight:
- Onions, jalapeno
- Frozen Corn
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Cheddar cheese
It also comes together super quick. The only chopping is onions and a little jalapeno, and everything else just goes in the skillet at just the right time. Then it’s under the broiler for a little sizzle.
What are the perfect mains to have Creamy Green Chili Corn Dip as a side?
Sometimes, I’ll just make it as a snack or for parties because it’s a crowd-pleaser! If you make it and you like it, leave me a comment below.
PrintCreamy Green Chili Corn Dip
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or oil of your choice
1 small white onion, diced
1 small, or 1/2 medium jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced fine
1, 4.5 ounce can chopped green chilis (I use mild)
1, 16 ounce bag of frozen sweet corn
4 ounces low fat cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat Philadelphia cream cheese)
4 ounces, or 1/2 cup light sour cream (I use Daisy – it’s the best)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 ounces or 1/4 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese
Cilantro for garnish (optional)
Chips, sliced radishes, sliced carrots for dipping
Instructions
In a medium skillet or cast iron pan, heat to medium-high heat.
Add olive oil, diced onions, and diced jalapeños, and saute until just soft, about 3 minutes.
Add green chilis and corn and heat through. When corn is thawed, add the cream cheese, sour cream, salt, and cumin and stir until the cream cheese melts into the corn.
Turn the oven to broil. Turn off the burner heat and smooth out the top of the corn. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and put under the broiler for just about 3 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble and just starts to turn light brown – watch it to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Garnish with cilantro and use chips, or sliced radishes for dipping.
