There is something so satisfying about cheesy dip in a cast iron. I for one am a huge fan of cheesy dip, so I knew I had to make it into an elite version! I love the roasted corn grilled over an open flame with the creamy cheese and spice from the jalapeño! The best part is how easy this dish is. Make this for your next gathering or night in.
First, season your corn with oil and grilling seasoning. Set on grill to get those delicious grill marks. If you do not have a grill, you can actually broil them in the oven. Just keep watch so it does not smoke up your kitchen too much. You will need to rotate then pull from the oven within 5-8 minutes.
When your corn is cooked, cut it away from the cob. To your corn, add your dip ingredients and mix well. Place in a cast iron or oven-safe dish and bake at 450F for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbling.
