It’s Hatch chile season and Heinen’s is ready to roast with their annual “Catch the Hatch” Chile celebration coming up on Saturday & Sunday, August 19th & 20! For this week’s Cooking with Heinen’s post, I’m making a dip that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Corn has never tasted better because it’s baked with freshly roasted Hatch chiles and two kinds of cheese. The chiles are not spicy or hot but are packed with flavor. This easy dip literally takes five minutes to stir together. It’s a great for parties, picnics, and even tailgating. You can serve your dip with your favorite cracker, bread or corn chip.
Hot & Cheesy Hatch Chile Corn Dip
Yield: one 9-inch pie dish, 4 to 8 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups frozen corn, thawed and drained if necessary (or substitute with fresh corn)
- 4oz of roasted chopped hatch chiles
- 1 3/4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or Pepper Jack), divided
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- chips, crackers or bread for serving
METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 350°f and spray a 9-inch round pie dish with cooking spray; set aside
- In a large bowl add corn, chiles, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan, mayo, and stir to combine.
- Turn mixture out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese has melted and is bubbly, or is as golden browned as desired.
- Serve immediately with corn chips, tortilla chips, bread, or your favorite dipper.
- Dip is best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently if desired or serve chilled.
