Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced green onions (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using fresh corn, boil or grill the kernels lightly to bring out their sweetness, then pat them dry. Set them aside in a small bowl.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to fold them together until you have a smooth, beautifully orange mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Next, stir in half of the shredded cheddar and the green onions, reserving a spoonful of onions for garnishing later. Fold in the corn kernels, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture. Transfer everything to a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Top the dip with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15–20 minutes, or until the cheddar on top is melted and bubbly. For an extra golden finish, you can pop the dish under the broiler for a minute or two—just keep a close eye so it doesn’t burn.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle the extra green onions on top, and let the dip cool slightly before serving. Spoon it into a bowl, or place the skillet right in the center of your spread for dramatic flair.
This dip is amazing served with tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, or crunchy veggie sticks. A drizzle of extra buffalo sauce on top takes it over the edge!
