THE BEST BAKED CORN DIP

Steps:

• Peppers -- first I like to cut them in half, remove the seeds and ribs and then roast the peppers in a 450 degree oven. Drizzle the olive oil well and place on a cookie sheet covered with foil. Roast 20-30 minutes until slightly charred. They make take longer depending on the size. Remove to a bowl and cover with saran wrap. Let them sit 10-15 minutes. This will allow the skin to just pull off easily. Remove the peppers once cooled, peel off the skin and chop.
• Vegetables -- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter on medium heat. Add the scallions, onion, garlic, corn and cook until well combined. Then add in the roasted peppers and the jalapeno peppers and cook until well heated through. Just a couple of minutes is all. Not too long to heat up.
• Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and mix with the remaining ingredients. the cheese and sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste and put in a greased oven proof casserole dish. I like to spray with pam or you can just use whatever you have on hand.
• Bake -- In a 350 degree oven, bake the dip 20 minutes until it is bubbly.
• Finish -- I love to top the dish with a spoon of sour cream, salsa, and chopped olives and serve with tortilla chips.
• The yellow dip with bits of green look so pretty with the melted cheese, bright salsa, olives and sour cream. It just makes such a pretty creamy cheesy dip. For me I could eat the whole thing.
