Grilled Corn Dip

Ingredients

6 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed

1 large onion, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

2 tablespoons butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

½ teaspoon chili powder

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 can (2-¼ ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Tortilla chips

Directions

Grill corn, covered, over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally.

Cut corn from cobs. In a large skillet, sauté the onion and jalapeno in butter for 2-3 minutes or until almost tender. Add corn and garlic; sauté 1-2 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream and chili powder. Stir in cheese and corn mixture. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Sprinkle with olives and green onions; serve with chips. Yield: 5 cups.

Editor’s Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
