    Cheesy Easy Appetizers:

    If you're looking for some cheesy easy appetizers, look no further.  We have a few easy appetizers that will satisfy the cheese lover in you. If a cheeseball is what you're after, try this Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball,  or Loaded Baked Potato Skins,  3 Cheese Pesto Flatbread,  and Homemade Pepperjack Queso,  and they're all easy to eat appetizers and easy appetizers for football games or parties. 

    Easy Appetizer Dips:

    There are so many easy appetizer dips. Load it up on a carrot stick or cracker and bam, you've got a great appetizer recipe. If you love artichokes, you need to try this recipe for Jalapeno Artichoke Dip. Cream Cheese Caramel Apple Dip, Cheesecake Fruit Dip,  Classic Cheese Queso Dip, and Pepperjack Queso Dip.

    Easy Appetizers To Make:

    Fiesta Corn Dip is a sweet corn dip and one of those easy appetizers to make.  You just need to dump the ingredients in a bowl, mix them together, bake and BAM, you have yourself an easy appetizer recipe.

    We especially love to make this crack corn dip recipe in the fall around football season and Thanksgiving when there's a lot of people to feed and you're looking for a warm and easy appetizer recipe. 

    Ingredients in Baked Corn Dip:

    Onion: Use a yellow or white onion

    Butter: Salted butter works great in this recipe. 

    Jalapeno Pepper: Use a fresh jalapeno pepper and wear gloves to protect your hands.

    Garlic: You can use pre-minced garlic from a jar or mince your own.

    Sour Cream: full or skim sour cream works great in this recipe.

    Cream Cheese: Full fat or part-skim cream cheese works great. 

    Chili Powder: Whatever you have on hand is great

    Monterey Jack Cheese: This is the cheese you'll use in the corn dip and also on top.  You could sub this for pepper jack or mozzarella cheese if you're in a pinch.

    Corn: Super Sweet Corn is preferred here.  The small kernel corn works best.  You can get super sweet corn in the freezer section of the supermarket.  White or yellow super sweet corn works great. 

    Cheesy easy appetizers

    How to Make Fiesta Corn Dip:

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Spray an 8x8" or 9x9" pan with nonstick cooking spray.
    3. Mince the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. 
    4. In saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno.  Saute on medium heat until the vegetables turn translucent and then slightly golden brown.
    5. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the onion mixture, sour cream, cream cheese, chili powder, and 1 cup of the Monterey jack cheese. Mix
    6. Stir in the corn and spread into the greased baking dish. 
    7. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup Monterey jack cheese on top.
    8. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
    9. Serve with your favorite crackers, tortilla chips or veggies.
