What a great side dish to any meal. Served this dish alongside your recipe#86940 and it was a great match . Loved all the flavors and ingredients and I'll definitely keep this recipe handy. Made for Spring PAC, 2014.

This was such a wonderful dish. I made as written only cutting it down for DH and I (three servings). DH is ready to have this again. Next time I think I will add a little more jalapeno (ours was a mild one). Thank you for sharing the recipe. Made for El Maiz~ Corn June 2013 tag game.

This was delish...made as a side dish for Easter Sunday and sister-in-law immediately asked who made this? Please send me the recipe. I used frozen corn too 'cause I'm not in love with anything from the can. Only used the red peppers because they are so sweet and add a ton of flavor. Used red pepper flakes instead of jalapeno so becareful not to get too heavy handed unless you really like the bite...we do. Thanks for sharing a recipe I'll definitely use many times over. Loved all the veggies in it and will try it with other assortments. Even my two year old grand daughter ate it.

This was a big hit around here! I used frozen corn and omitted the salt. It was a very colorful and delicious dish! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice dish. I did scale back on the serving size to accommodate 3 people. Too late did I discover I had no Monterey Jack, so I just doubled up on the cheddar. Since we don't care for the canned corn, I used frozen. :)
