Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 8- ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 1- ounce package taco seasoning low-sodium
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 15.25- ounce can whole kernel corn drained
  • 4- ounce can green chilies
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese (divided)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the sour cream and cream cheese with a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the taco seasoning and garlic powder and mix to combine.
  • Fold in the corn, green chilies, and green onions.
  • Set aside ¼ cup of the shredded cheese for the topping and fold the remaining cheese into the mixture until well combined.
  • Transfer the dip to a cast-iron pan (it does not need to be greased).
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then top with the remaining cheese.
  • Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling at the edges.
  • Serve warm with toasted baguette slices.

Notes:

You can bake this in any small oven-safe dish of your choice. The benefit of using a cast-iron pan is that it keeps the dip warmer for longer, making it ideal for parties.
These are additional add-ins you can try: crumbled bacon, charred corn, and charred jalapeno peppers for a different flavor profile.
Use a small skillet (I used an 8-inch size)
