One last recipe before game day!! Poblano Corn Cheese Dip 🙂
I’m allllll about that cheesy cheese dip! And no Super Bowl party is complete without some bubbling hot dip in some capacity! You might be a spinach dip kinda person, or maybe artichoke dip is more your speed. Or perhaps you prefer kale and bacon! And maybe you’re more of a queso kinda human. Well those are all fantastic options but let me tell you about this Poblano Corn Cheese Dip! Lots of cheese, tons of corn, smoky poblano peppers, freshly fried tortilla chips… THE WORKS. It all gets made in 1 skillet and then baked until bubbly and hot. It’s then topped with fresh herbs to give it that extra pop of flavor and then…. GAME TIME!

Make sure you start the recipe in an oven-safe skillet so you can go straight from stove to oven. It also is perfect to set out to eat straight from the pan!

This one is definitely going on the menu!
Poblano’s are so good!! This dip looks epic!!
This looks divine! How is the corn charred? Thanks?
I buy it charred from trader joes in the frozen section
This looks insanely good! I’ll take that entire skillet!
SO bomb!!!!
Do you think this would freeze well? How would you reheat from frozen?
I haven’t tried to freeze it so I can’t say for certain!
Do you think you can use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream? Thanks!
totally
Is this made in a 10″ or 12″ skillet? Looks delicious!!
10!
My local grocery store doesn’t carry poblanos!! Is there a substitute you’d recommend using?
Anaheim peppers would be good!
I made this for a superbowl party a while ago. It was the star of the app table. Went a little light on the poblanos to please everyone. Making it again to bring to Thanksgiving!
What is shredded Mexican cheese? This looks soo good!
any blend of mexican cheese that they sell at the market would work! also pepper jack, colby jack, Monterey jack, or cheddar would work too
Can you use regular frozen corn? I can’t find charred frozen corn #canadaproblems
of course!
thanks for responding! made this for the super bowl and added chorizo. it was delicious!!!
Is this still good at room temp? Need to transport to the party.
yes!!
I’ve made this once before and it was awesome. This time I wanted to try putting it in a crock pot to stay warm, after everything is sautéed. Do you think that would work?
I think that would totally work for this recipe!
What size cast iron pan did you use?
9 inch
Bringing this favorite out for Super Bowl!
My boys love this!
I’m making this for a BBQ this weekend! Would it still turn out the same if assembled it in skillet the night before, and then baked in oven the following day? Thanks!
shouldn’t be an issue!!
Can I char my own corn and add it or does it have to be frozen when adding?
you can do it yourself!
Halp – I really want to make this but I don’t have a cast iron skillet! If I sautéed everything in stainless steel and baked it in a Le Creuset square baking dish (I think it’s 8×8 but could be 9×9) would it still turn out well?
We’re trying to take it to a friend’s place as an appetizer so we also need it to travel lol
ya that would be fine!
