How to Make Corn Dip
I love that this Hot Street Corn Dip is as simple as blending all of the ingredients together in a high powered blender or Mixer, pouring into a baking dish, and baking until hot and bubbly.
It’s so much easier (and cheesier) than traditional street corn! I love both, but this version is simply an amazing EASY version for parties, and especially Cinco de Mayo!
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a high powered blender or mixer, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, hot sauce, lime juice, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Blend until fully combined.
- Scoop the cream cheese mixture into a large bowl and add the remaining one cup cheese, the corn, feta, pepper, onion, and cilantro. Stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into a prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with more cheese if desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly. Garnish with more cilantro, feta, and hot sauce.
- Serve with chips and enjoy!

What is Street Corn?
Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob is often called street corn. It consists of an ear of corn being grilled to perfection and then layered with sauces like sour cream or mayo, layers of fresh cilantro and lime juice, spices like chili powder, and cheeses like feta, parmesan, or cojita cheese.
We have made several versions of this classic Mexican dish that you should explore!

Made this for a potluck and it was a hit. Got lots of compliments. I used cotija. It really reminded me of elote from the corn man! My observation for anyone wanting to try it: it’s hard to blend all that cheese! I had to keep adding milk for it to move. I think I added a total of 1/4 cup milk. I had some Velveeta leftover so I tossed it in there too. Unfortunately, I did not transfer to a crock pot so the cheese hardened up after about 1 hr. Will add to recipe box though.
Thanks for sharing, Penny!
My husbands 2 favorite things are corn and anything spicy. He absolutely LOVES this!
I’m not much on spicy but with pita chips it calms down the spicy.
Thanks for sharing, Tabitha!
Not a hit at the Super Bowl party….sorry, Becky.
I am sorry this didn’t work out for you!
Could I make this in a slow cooker?
You can give it a shot!
Lol. I see that I missed the pepper directions for the jalepeno. Never mind!
What size baking dish is needed for this recipe?
9×13 is standard, go smaller for thicker!
Thank you!
I just want a specification on the Franks red hot sauce? Is it the cayenne, the wings, etc… there are a few different Franks red hot sauces and I want to make sure and use the right one. Thank you
Original!
Made this for a dinner party and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe, so I sent them the link. The only thing I added was some diced tomatoes which I patted dry before adding, for just a little contrast. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing, Tracy!
This is amazing and we serve it all the time. Do you think it would freeze better after baking or before…I would like to make a bigger batch to have on hand.
I’ve always made it fresh, but I am sure either way works!
This dip is amazing! My husband and I ate over half of it in one night. Didn’t have franks hot sauce so used Cholula chili and lime, it came out so good. Probably one of the best dips I’ve ever had! Tried some the next day cold, still really good but heating it makes it even more amazing. 100% recommend!!
