Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Dr Pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Dr Pepper Hot Corn Dip cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained corn, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green onions. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to mix these ingredients together until they are well combined and the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
- Slowly pour in the Dr Pepper while continuing to stir the mixture. The soda will add a unique sweetness and flavor to the dip. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated with the Dr Pepper.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount, mix well, and adjust according to your preference.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly. You may want to check it halfway through to see if it needs stirring.
- Once cooked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will help prevent burns when serving.
- Serve the Dr Pepper Hot Corn Dip warm, garnished with extra diced green onions if desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping!
Tips
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for the best melting consistency
- Don't overmix the ingredients - gentle folding helps maintain texture
- For extra crispiness, sprinkle some additional cheese on top before baking
- Let the dip rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to allow flavors to settle
- If you want a spicier version, add a dash of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
