Easy Cheesy Hot Mexican Corn Dip

I think the other reason that I like this Mexican corn dip recipe is that it’s made using a cast-iron skillet as well. When I get the chance to cook anything in cast-iron, I know that it’s going to have a ton of flavor and taste.

If you’re new to cooking with cast-iron, get ready to fall in love. Having a skillet that is perfectly seasoned means that anything and everything that you cook in it is going to be cooked to absolute flavor perfection.

It doesn’t matter if it’s steak, gravy, or dip, it’s just going to be delicious each and every time.

Just be aware that the cast-iron skillet will get very hot very quickly so wear your oven mitt anytime you’re even thinking about touching that handle. (sound advice as I’ve done this about a zillion times!)

You can easily make this corn dip with cream cheese in a regular skillet too. There’s just something about using a cast iron skillet that reminds me of my grandmother. Cooking on her wood oven stove. Great memories from oh so long ago.

Hot Corn Dip made with good old cream cheese really is perfect as an appetizer. (And it can even be a side dish, too!) Combine it with any Mexican dish and it will bring that dish to the next level.

For those who are carb-conscious, it’s absolutely the perfect guilt-free party dip solution. This corn cream cheese jalapeno dip is quick to make and full of flavor.

Don’t let the jalapeno and spices deter you from making it because you can alter or change those as your tastebuds see fit.

The cream cheese also cools those ingredients down really well too to make certain that things aren’t too hot to enjoy. This hot corn dip recipe is as spicy as you want to make it.

Is This a Spicy Jalapeno Corn Dip?

This homemade chip dip is not overly spicy but it does have some heat. This is because of the added jalapenos and chili powder. If you’re not a fan of spicy foods, no worries. Just omit them and make it that way.

The spicy aspect of this dip recipe isn’t going to make or break the outcome, it just adds a different layer of flavor.

And if you have someone that does like spicy foods, then they can make up their own little bowl and add those in for their taste needs and wants.
