If you\u2019re making this dish in advance, omit the avocado, and stir it in right before serving.<\/li>\n<li>You can substitute other types of beans instead of black beans, I\u2019ve used pinto beans before and it\u2019s delicious.<\/li>\n<li>Not a fan of cilantro? Use sliced green onions instead.<\/li>\n<li>I typically use frozen thawed corn kernels, but you could use canned corn or even fresh corn off the cob.<\/li>\n<li>Serve your cowboy caviar either as a dip with tortilla chips or as a salad over lettuce leaves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Variations:<\/h4>\n<p>While I typically serve my cowboy caviar as a dip, sometimes I like to add more ingredients to turn it into more of a meal. There are so many different ways to customize cowboy caviar!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Protein: Stir in 1 1\/2 cups of diced cooked chicken or small shrimp, then serve as a salad.<\/li>\n<li>Bacon: Stir in 1\/3 cup cooked crumbled bacon right before serving.<\/li>\n<li>Spicy: Leave some of the seeds and ribs in the jalapeno, and add a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.<\/li>\n<li>Cheese: Add 1\/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Creamy Corn Dip (Hot or Cold)<\/h3>\n<h3>Ingredients:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup sour cream<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup mayonnaise<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp garlic salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>2 cups shredded cheddar cheese<\/li>\n<li>1 3\/4 cups fresh sweet corn (or use 1 can of corn, drained)<\/li>\n<li>11 oz can Mexicorn, drained<\/li>\n<li>10 oz can Rotel, drained<\/li>\n<li>4 oz can of diced green chiles, drained<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup chopped green onions<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup chopped cilantro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Instructions:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li id=\"mv_create_690_1\">In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and black pepper.<\/li>\n<li id=\"mv_create_690_2\">Add the shredded cheese, sweet corn, Mexicorn, Rotel, green chiles, green onions, and cilantro. Stir to coat with the dressing.<\/li>\n<li id=\"mv_create_690_3\">To serve cold: Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.<\/li>\n<li id=\"mv_create_690_4\">To serve hot: Spread in a casserole dish and bake at 350\u02daF for 30-40 minutes, until hot and bubbly.<\/li>\n<li id=\"mv_create_690_5\">Serve with corn chips or tortilla chips<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Variations:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For more heat, add diced jalapenos and add some hot sauce, sriracha sauce, or red pepper flakes.<\/li>\n<li>Skip the Rotel if you don\u2019t want tomatoes in the dip or replace it with diced fresh tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li>Swap the shredded cheddar cheese with a Monterey jack or pepper jack.<\/li>\n<li>If you want more veggies in this dip so that it is more of a salad, try adding diced avocados, shredded cabbage, diced cucumbers, or diced bell peppers.<\/li>\n<li>For protein, try adding shredded chicken, taco meat, black beans, or crumbled bacon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yummly.com\/recipes\/corn-dip\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">corn dip recipes check these out.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>On The Menu<\/h3>\n<p>See you next Friday for another variety of Football Friday Tailgate Dip\u00a0 Recipe.
