What kind of Rotel should I use?
You can use either regular or hot Rotel tomatoes and green chilies depending on your spice preference. The hot version will make the dip spicier.
Do I have to heat up the corn?
Heating the corn is optional. The dip can be served chilled, at room temperature, or warm. Warming it slightly enhances the flavors but don’t overheat or the dip could become runny.
Can I make substitutions for the ingredients?
Feel free to substitute different brands of corn, tomatoes, sour cream, etc. You can also customize the spice level by using more or less hot Rotel. The ranch dressing mix boosts flavor but can be omitted if needed.
How long will the dip keep?
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the dip will keep for 3-4 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving if chilled.
