Ashley’s Mexican Corn Dip

This party favorite was submitted by Joye Law Firm team member Ashley Graham. Ashley works in our Myrtle Beach office and helps our personal injury clients. She loves sharing this fast and tasty dip with friends and family.

Ingredients:

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
1 and 1/2 cups Mexican-style cheese, shredded
2 cans Mexican-style Corn
2 jalapeños, seeds removed & diced
Garlic powder or garlic salt, to taste
1 bag Fritos Scoops chips

Preparation:

In mixing bowl, add cream cheese and jalapeños.
Sprinkle with garlic powder or garlic salt, to taste.
Mix until blended. Then, add to ovenproof pan.
Cover with shredded cheese.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
Serve with chips.

The dip will be very hot coming out of the oven. So let it stand for a few minutes before digging in. Serve in the pan or carefully spoon into a chip and dip platter.
