Canned corn,green chilies,jalapenos,green onions, mayo and sour cream. So.... easy. I found this is the Almost Homemade Gooseberry Cookbook, submitted by C.Snodgrass in Rolla, Mo. So easy, and so good. I have made a few Bakinbaby adjustments.

Categories     Cheese

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (11 ounce) cans corn mixed with chopped peppers (drained)
7 ounces green chilies (diced)
6 ounces jalapenos (chopped or drained-reserve juice)
1/2 cup green onion
1/4 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 cup monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients, do a taste test, if it needs more spice, add 1 teaspoons of the jalapeno juice or if you really like it hot, add 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper or more jalapenos.
  • Flavor is better if allowed to set overnight or up to two days.
  • Serve with corn chips.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are fresh, especially the chili peppers. Fresh peppers pack more flavor than dried or jarred ones.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking dish. The dip should be spread in an even layer to ensure even cooking.
  • If the dip is too thick, add a little more beef broth or water. If it is too thin, add more cheese or bread crumbs.
  • Top the dip with shredded cheese and bake until melted and bubbly. This will create a delicious, golden-brown crust.
  • Serve the dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a topping for tacos or burritos.

Conclusion:

This Southwest Baked Chili Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and will be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a tasty and crowd-pleasing snack, give this recipe a try!
