With summertime in full swing and corn coming off the husks in droves, what better way to enjoy some than in this dip.

Oven baked green chile corn dip topped with green onions on a green mat with a napkin and elephant salt and pepper shakers in the background.

Luckily enough was left for me to actually enjoy some. Part of the flavor comes from the grilling, that smoke permeates the corn and lent itself to the dish.  If you don’t want to grill the corn, or even use fresh corn, I suspect this dish will still be very tasty if frozen corn is used.  Also if you don’t want to go through the effort to puree your own corn into a cream corn, I believe one can of creamed corn will work, then using 4½ cups of frozen corn kernels.

    I love this recipe. We always have way too much corn left over as well. I can also see this as a perfect dip to bring to a tailgate party 🙂
