Notes
- Yellow and White Corn : Other options would be to use all yellow corn, all white corn, fresh corn on the cob cut off, canned roasted corn, or even canned fire-roasted corn. I prefer the gold n' white canned corn in this corn dip.
- Salt : The recipe calls for kosher salt; if using a finer salt such as sea salt or regular table salt, reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon and add from there if needed.
- Rotel : This comes in different levels of heat. Pick a spice level you know you would like, as this will help control how spicy the dish is. It comes in original, medium, or hot heat levels. The original rotel has a mild spice to it so if you want zero spice in the dip, then you might want to use regular petite diced tomatoes that have been drained well.
- Pepper Jack Cheese : Shredded mozzarella cheese, Colby jack cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, or cheddar cheese are all great alternatives. If you're wanting to control the heat and have a more mild spice level - I recommend switching out the cheese to one listed above.
- Cream Cheese : The full-fat cream cheese option is the best as it will provide the best creamy and thick texture. However, if you prefer, the low-fat cream cheese could be used as well. I also recommend using the name brand cream cheese, Philadelphia brand, because it tastes so much noticeably better than the store brand cream cheese.
