Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Cut corn kernels off the cob into a bowl using a sharp knife. Sauté corn, bell pepper, shallot and garlic in butter in an ovenproof pan over medium heat until shallot and bell pepper are tender.

2. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese, pancetta, mayonnaise, jalapeno peppers, salt and pepper. Simmer until well mixed. Sprinkle with the cheese.

3. Bake until cheese melts and the dip is heated through. Serve warm with corn chips. For a tailgate appetizer, heat in a cast iron skillet on the grill.
