Servings: 8 people
Equipment
- 1 8x8 baking dish or similar in size
Ingredients
- 4 medium jalapeños seeds removed, finely chopped
- 1 ranch seasoning packet I use a 28 gram packet
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup canned corn
- 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs toasted
- 1/2 lime juiced or more to taste
- green onions to garnish
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 °F.
- Begin by removing the seeds from the jalapeños and chop into small pieces. Set aside until ready to use.
- To a large bowl, add your cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning packet, and lime juice.
- Using a hand blender, begin to mix on low speed until well combined and smooth. About 2 minutes.Tip: if you don't have a hand blender you can use a large mixing spoon, just make sure your cream cheese is room temperature to make it easier to mix.
- Add your chopped jalapeños, canned corn and 1 cup of cheese.(The other cup will be used to top the dip with).Gently mix to combine.
- Pour the dip into your baking dish, spread evenly and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until it begins to bubble.
- While the dip bakes, bring a small pan to medium-high heat. Add the butter and breadcrumbs and mix until the crumbs are lightly toasted and golden brown (about 3 minutes). Remove immediately from the heat and set aside to cool until ready to use as a topping.
- Once the dip begis to bubble, remove it from the oven and top with your toasted breadcrumbs.
- Return back to the oven for another 5 minutes.Sammy's tip: for an extra golden and crispy finish, I recommend turning the oven to broil during the final 1 to 2 minutes of baking.
- Top with green onions and serve with tortilla chips.
