Out-of-this-World Corn Dip

Last year, some friends hosted an Oktoberfest party and one of the things that I liked most (other than the fabulous assortment of beer, obviously) was a corn dip that someone brought. I was told that it was key to eat it with Fritos.

Dipping corn chips in corn dip – that’s something I can totally get on board with. I am originally from Indiana, after all.

This dip is a cinch to put together, and it’s always a big hit. I eased off of the jalapeños when I made it because I was bringing it to a potluck for parents and toddlers. I didn’t want to be remembered as The Lady Who Burnt Poor Little Timmy’s Mouth.

Next time, I’m going full-on-spicy.

It’s hard to explain how addictive this dip is – it’s definitely more than the sum of its parts. Bring this to your next potluck or picnic and it’s guaranteed to disappear!
