Corn Dip AKA Packers Dip

Submitted by Jennifer Peters

2 Tbl - Unsalted butter
3-1/2c - Whole kernel corn
Salt and Pepper
1c - Finely chopped sweet onions
1/2c - Finely chopped red peppers
2 tsp - Minced garlic
1/4c - Green onions
1/2 - 1 cup - Mayo
4 - 6 oz - Shredded cheddar
4 - 6 oz - Shredded Monterey Jack (I substitute Jalapeno Pepper Jack instead and skip the jalapenos)
I personally skip the options below since I replace the monterey jack with Jalapeno Pepper Jack cheese)
(Optional) 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
(Optional) 1/4 tsp cayenne

Melt 1 Tbl of butter in pan and add corn.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Cook until corn starts to lightly brown (about 5 min).  Transfer to large mixing bowl.  Melt remaining 1 Tbl of butter in pan and add onions and red peppers.  Cook until onion is wilted (about 2 min).  Add green onions, garlic and optional jalapeno and cook until softened.  Add to mixing bowl.  Add mayo and 2/3 of the cheeses and mix well.  Pour into 8" baking dish and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.  Bake until golden and bubbly 15 - 20 min.  Serve hot with tortilla chips.  Enjoy!!!

I like to use a lot of cheese, so sometimes I use 8 oz of both cheeses.  It's all a matter of preference!
