Notes
Make-Ahead Tip
You can assemble this dip up to a day in advance, cover and refrigerate it, then bake it just before serving. Perfect for stress-free entertaining! If using canned corn for this recipe, I recommend using a 15-ounce can Steam Crisp or Summer Crisp Corn or something similar for the best flavor and texture. You could also use 1½ cups of sweet tiny kernel frozen corn.
