We love Mexican flavored dishes so when I saw the hot dip corn recipe I knew it was just the appetizer I needed for our weekly card game. We’re all family so it wasn’t like we were inviting strangers to the house. So, the game got a late start because i couldn’t pull them away from the hot dip. The recipe is a real winner.
