This Corn Dip Recipe with Green Chiles is a hit at every party or get together. Grilled corn, green chile and cheese make up the base of this Southern inspired dip.
Looking for more dips to feed a crowd? You’ll love my Hot Beef and Bean Dip, this creamy Queso Blanco, or my favorite Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip.
I am all about a good dip. In my opinion, they are the perfect party food. Whether it’s a birthday party, a sporting event, a holiday – you need a good dip for them all. Whether you are dipping with chips or veggies or fruit – yep, I love them all.
So every summer, this Corn Dip Recipe is a must make for me. I had to squeeze it in one more time this summer when I had some extra fresh corn. And my family gobbled it up in no time flat!
How to Grill Corn
This recipe is best with fresh grilled corn. If you want to make this year round, you can use frozen corn, but I always like it best with grilled corn. So here is how I grill corn for this recipe.
- Heat your grill to medium heat. I like to let it heat up for 5-10 minutes to make sure it is hot.
- Shuck the corn and clean off all of the silk.
- When the grill is hot, place the corn on the grill.
- Grill for about 10 minutes, turning a few times to cook it evenly. You don’t want to overcook the corn, as it won’t be as juicy.
- Let the corn cool before cutting the kernels from the cob.
Ingredients in The Corn Dip Recipe
Here are the other ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:
The grilled corn, cut off of the cob
Mayonnaise
Sour cream
A mix of cheese – I like cheddar and pepper jack
Chopped green chiles – I use a can, unless I happen to have fresh chiles on hand
Green Onions
Cumin
How to Make This Fresh Corn Dip
The only real work you have for this recipe is grilling the corn. This is a really easy recipe!
- Stir together the mayonnaise and sour cream. Add in the cheese, green chiles, green onions and cumin and stir to combine.
- Add in the cooled corn that has been cut from the cob.
- Taste and season with salt as needed. Don’t go too crazy, as most chips are quite salty.
- Refrigerate the dip until needed. It can be served straight from the refrigerator.

i love this recipe. The first time I made it using cumin but my friend made it using curry cause she read recipe wrong and actually it’s tasted better

I just found this post while reading your new Tilapia with Corn Recipe (YUM)…and just wanted to say thank you!! Such an inspirational and beautifully written post. Seeing how far your blog has come since you wrote this…WOW!!! You’re doing it! Congrats. And thanks so much for the bite of inspiration! You are one of the blogs that I’ve looked up toward since I started blogging last year. Keep up the amazing work!

I’ve had this post up in my browser for several days now waiting for time to leave a comment. Love this post Deborah, everything about it. What a great recap of Evo (love all the photos!) and I completely agree that the most inspiration and learning at these conference comes more from the other attendees than from the conference itself. I enjoyed or short chats at Evo and I wished that we saw each other more so we could chat more. I continue to be amazed by you and your blog. Thinking of you!
Jennifer @ Mother Thyme says
Such a beautiful and touching post, Deborah! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience from this amazing event. I am so happy to have gotten to know you through blogging and that is what I always love about doing this, meeting people like you that I wouldn’t have met if it wasn’t for blogging. I truly admire your blog and think you are amazing! I hope one day we’ll be able to meet in person. Until then I’ll have to enjoy a bowl of this amazing dip! 🙂

What a lovely post Deborah! Your thoughts and feelings are so beautifully written. I feel the same way sometimes. I work so hard on my blog and at doing my freelance work and I sometimes feel that other people that haven’t been blogging as long have more likes, comments, opportunities, etc. But this is a competitive industry and it drives me to be the best I can be! And that’s what I do, just put my heart, into this passion and give honest work. And because of this I think that I have been blessed with the opportunities I have been given and will hopefully gain more opportunities in the future. I love your blog and wish you continued success, Deborah. So glad you had fun at your first blogging event. I am headed to my first one next year (Blogher Food) and hopefully we will get to meet at one soon!

Deborah,
I thank you so very much for your honesty about your feelings and insecurities. I have those ALL the time about my blog, that it’s not good enough and doesn’t measure up to all of the incredible blogs I come across every day. I am even hesitant to go to a food blogging conference because of it despite knowing that if I attend, I could really benefit from it. It’s comforting to know that even the most established and creative bloggers such as yourself have the same feelings. I think it just makes us all human.
Big hugs!
Heidi @foodiecrush says
Deb, what a wonderful, sharing post for all of us to enjoy and learn from. I LOVE how honest and heartfelt you are about your life, and that it isn’t all as perfect as our pictures make it out to be. Evo was awesome, and definitely the best part was the time spent with you guys. I respect you so much, and am so glad to have you as a friend. XOXO

That conference sounds like it was an AMAZING experience. I’m so glad you got to go!
natalie(thesweetslife) says
i loved hearing about the conference–i’m so glad it was such a good time. i think sometimes the blog world can seem cliquish or competitive, so it’s nice to hear about experiences like this!
uhhh and that dip?! WANT!
teresa says
first of all, your blog is beautiful and amazing. i want to (and often do) pin just about everything you post. second, i know exactly what you’re talking about. i’m the same age as you, and like you mentioned, i’m just now working to get to a place where i can just be okay with me and the level that i’m at. i catch myself constantly comparing myself and i’m really working to stop.
secondly, AMAZING dip! another one i’ll be pinning!
Bree says
Beautiful pics! What conference was this? Looks great! And t he dip looks pretty darn good too ;0
Robyn says
Deborah,
You do a great job with your blog! You have an adorable family and they are truly blessed to have you. 🙂 I wish we still lived close, I really miss our dinner group. At least I get to still enjoy your food through your blog! Keep up the great work & never forget that you are an extremely talented woman. If all else fails, just know that I think you are amazing, and an inspiration. <3!
