Hot Corn Chile Dip

Step 1

Heat a grill on medium heat. Grill the corn until lots of the kernels have color. Cut off the kernels and set aside.

Step 2

If serving immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, jalapenos, onions and green and red bell peppers. Cook for a few minutes, until the peppers get great color on the outside. Add the chiles and stir for 30 seconds. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the pepper-jack, the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and green onions and stir until combined. Add the reserved corn and veggie mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Pour into a small baking dish. Bake immediately, or cover with foil and refrigerate up to 48 hours.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top and bake until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or pita crisps.
