Traditional fried corn turned into a Cheesy Fried Corn Dip makes for a sweet and tasty appetizer!!
Happy Wednesday Folks! How’s your week going? My Auntee Gail is visiting for a week from Huntsville, AL. She says she’s here to see me but she’s really here for the Woodward Dream Cruise. If you haven’t heard, it’s basically an event where classic cars impede traffic parade on Woodward Avenue for a 10 mile span. A quarter of a million people begin to flood the area starting this past Monday. I avoid the area like the plague but she and her friends choose to schlep through all the masses and gawk at all the dreamy classic cars. SIGH.
Since Auntee Gail is in town, I just had to make a huge traditional Sunday dinner for the entire family and hubby requested Beef Short Ribs, Turnip & Mustard Greens, Macaroni and Cheese, Candied Yams, Hot Water Cornbread and Chunky Chocolate Walnut Cookies. Hubby loves fried corn so I thought I’d try a new spin on it with this Cheesy Fried Corn Dip Recipe. Oh boy is it dreamy!! By the way…Why does it take 6 hours to cook, 5 minutes to eat and 7 days and nights to clean the kitchen? I’ll insert another SIGH here. SIGH.
This dreamy Cheesy Fried Corn Dip Recipe was right up everyone’s alley. It vanished like these hotcakes. Speaking of this Cheesy Fried Corn Dip Recipe, what dream has God given you? Whatever the Lord has given you continue to focus on Him as you wait in great expectation of its fruition. (Isaiah 43:18-19) Remember that His plan and timing for the dream he’s placed in your heart is always best. Yield to God’s plan for your dream and watch Him do amazing things in you and through you. Say Grace and enjoy!!

Anything with the word cheesy in the title gets my vote! Love the idea of turning corn into a dip
Thanks Amy!! It is perfect!!
I don’t think I’d even need a tortilla chip for this one — just pass a spoon!
Haha!! Did that a few times too, Lisa!!!
Fried corn has been a staple, and welcome, side dish at holiday time, in my family, for as long as I can remember, and it’s even tasty eaten cold. You’ve just given me a new, and exciting, way to serve this family favorite that will blow my family members away at our next gathering. This being the peak of farm fresh corn season, at farmer’s markets, it’s definitely time to try something new. Thanks! 🙂
You and Willie both, Kelly!! Let me know how it turns out for you!! 🙂

Thanks Elaine! Love it when she visits!
I have lots of GF friends who would love this comforting dip! Thanks for sharing!

You did all that cooking? Someone else should have spent all the time in the kitchen cleaning up…. (its still a sweet dal for them!). That corn sounds amazing. Ive never met a corn dish I haven’t loved but this is so different than any Ive made. Cant wait to try it!
Haha!! Momma helped me a bit with clean up. Everyone else vanished!! Hope you enjoy this tasty dip!
