Ingredients

• 🌽 Ingredients You’ll Need
• - 16 ounces whipped cream cheese
• - ½ cup sour cream
• - 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• - 2 tablespoons hot sauce (we love Cholula or Tapatío!)
• - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
• - 2 cups freshly shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• - 5–6 ears of corn, charred and cut off the cob (or 3 cups canned/frozen corn)
• - 4 ounces low-fat feta or Cotija cheese, crumbled
• - 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped (seeds in for heat, out for mild)
• - ½ cup chopped red onion
• - ½ cup chopped green onions
• - Street corn seasoning (like Tajín or a chili-lime blend)

Instructions

1. Char the Corn: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray oven safe pan with cooking spray. If using fresh corn, grill or broil the ears until slightly charred. Let cool, then cut off the kernels. If using canned or frozen corn, sauté in a dry skillet until golden and toasty.
2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, hot sauce, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the Cheesy Goodness: Fold in the Monterey Jack, cheddar, and feta or Cotija cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
4. Toss in the Veggies: Add the corn, jalapeño, and red onion. Stir gently to combine. Place ingredients in the prepared pan.
5. Top with goodness: Sprinkle a layer of cheese on top, if desired. Sprinkle in your favorite street corn seasoning. Start with a teaspoon and adjust to your liking. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until you have bubbly hot cheesy goodness.
6. Serve It Up: Garnish with green onions, and a sprinkle of seasoning. Serve warm or chilled with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or fresh veggie sticks.
   

🔥 Cooking Tips from the Lou Lou girls Kitchen

• Make it ahead: This dip actually gets better after a few hours in the fridge. The flavors meld and intensify—yum!
• Warm it up: Want it hot and bubbly? Pop it in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes until golden and gooey. You can also serve it cold.
• Add protein: Stir in cooked bacon, shredded chicken, or black beans for a heartier version.
• Go low-carb: Serve with cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or pork rinds for a keto-friendly snack.
