Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients, and prepare your baking dish by lightly greasing it.

Mixing the Base

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Adding Cheese

In a large bowl, combine the sautéed veggies with corn, both cheeses, and the spices. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Spicing It Up

Taste your mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and cayenne if you want a kick. Stir in the chopped green onions and jalapeños.

Baking

Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.

Serving

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving with your favorite tortilla chips or Fritos.
