Ingredients
Below, I discuss the ingredients and possible substitutions if you don't have a specific ingredient. However, if you are looking for the specific measurements of each ingredient, scroll down to the bottom of this article, just above the comments, for the printable recipe card, which includes all the ingredients and the specific amounts of each one.
- Sour Cream – You can use either regular sour cream or light sour cream.
- Cream Cheese – You’ll need softened cream cheese.
- Fire-Roasted Corn – I used canned corn, specifically, a can of fire-roasted corn, or if you are lucky enough to have fresh corn, roast some corn on the cob on the grill, remove the corn kernels, and use that corn. You could use sweet corn if you don’t want roasted corn.
- Diced Tomatoes and Chilies – Use a can of Rotel tomatoes or a similar can of diced tomatoes and chilies.
- Cheddar Cheese – I prefer shredded sharp cheddar cheese for this corn dip. However, you could use other shredded cheese, like Monterey Jack Cheese or Pepper Jack.
- Taco Seasoning – If you don’t have this, you can make your own DIY Taco Seasoning or use Chili Powder instead.
- Smoked Paprika
- Salt & Pepper
- Chopped Cilantro – or Chopped Green Onions – Use chopped fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or chopped red peppers as a garnish.

Recipe Tips
- If you don't like spicy, I suggest using a mild seasoning packet and mild Rotel.
- If you want an extra kick, use a hot seasoning packet or add some cayenne, your favorite hot sauce, or chipotle powder. You could even dice up your favorite hot peppers and add them in.
- Pepperjack, White Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack would all be good in place of the Cheddar for this cheesy dip.
- Place any leftover dip in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days,
- I do not suggest freezing.
- For the best results, use an electric mixer to ensure everything is well combined.
