peg_lyn's Note:

Do not let the title fool you, this is delicious. This is an appetizer/dip recipe that goes well with tortilla chips. Everytime I make this dip people rave about it and ask for the recipe.

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

My husband says this one is "over the moon" Thanks so much for a great dip! Sadly, I did not try it because me and jalapeno's do not get along.

Devoured! We used queso cheese and whole kernel corn. This took 40 minutes in the oven. We'll add some chopped tomatoes next time and think it would be awesome with Frito Lays corn chips scoops! Thanks for a great recipe. :)
