Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thawed corn, diced red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese and sour cream to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, optional.
Notes
If you like a bit more texture in your dip, try adding some finely diced red or green bell peppers just before serving. They’ll stay crisp and add a fresh crunch that complements the creamy dip perfectly. You can also top the finished dip with a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of bright, fresh flavor!
