- 3 cups frozen corn kernels
- 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces grated provolone or Monterey jack cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
For Serving
- Fritos or other chips/crackers for dipping
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a medium-sized baking dish or pie plate lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Assemble Dip: Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish or pie plate. Sprinkle the remaining reserved cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
- Bake: Place the baking dish uncovered in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is browned to your liking.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the dip to rest for 5 minutes after baking to firm up slightly. Serve warm with Fritos or your favorite chips and crackers for dipping.

- You can adjust the amount of jalapenos according to your desired spice level.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- If you prefer, substitute the cheeses with your favorite melting cheese variety.
