Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Traditional Corn Dip
  1. Start by preparing the corn for your Easy Traditional Corn Dip. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and set them aside. For canned corn, drain and rinse it thoroughly under cold water. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it. Optionally, quickly roast the corn in a skillet for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese. Mix together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese. Then add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Gently fold in the corn, chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro. Combine well.
  5. For serving, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and golden.
