Dive into the creamy goodness of this Mexicorn Rotel Dip. The combination of cheesy, spicy, and zesty flavors makes it an irresistible addition to any party or gathering.

Tips:

• To make the dip spicier, you can use the “Hot” variety of Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Don’t rush the melting process; low heat and continuous stirring are key to achieving a smooth and creamy texture.
• This dip can also be made in a slow cooker. Simply combine all the ingredients and set the slow cooker to low, stirring occasionally until the dip is creamy and heated through.

Variation:

For a heartier version, you can add cooked and crumbled ground beef or chorizo to the dip for extra flavor and texture.

Cook’s Note:

Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for later enjoyment. Simply microwave the dip in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until it reaches your desired temperature.
