Festive Corn Dip

Easy recipe to have for the holidays, or any time. Very colorful and can be quite spicy, up to you. Great with Fritos 'Scoops' or Tostitos Scoops.

2 cans Green Giant Mexicorn (drained)
8 oz. sour cream (I use light sour cream)
1 cup real mayonnaise (I haven't tried the light version yet)
5 grn onions, finely chopped
12 oz. mild cheddar cheese, shredded (I usually use light Mexican blend)
1 med. jar pimentos, chopped (can be left out...but adds color)
1 tsp. garlic salt (sometimes I leave out)
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper (sometimes I leave this out too)
1/2 cup (or small can) chopped jalapeno peppers (drain for milder recipe, use with juice for spicier version)

Mix by hand...best if refrigerated overnight. Serve with 1 or 2 bags of Fritos or Tostitos 'Scoops'

A recipe from my past...

1/3 cup Catalina Salad Dressing
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. catsup
1 small onion, grated
Gradually add the salad dressing to the softened cream cheese, mixing until well blended. Add catsup and onion. Serve well chilled with fresh vegetables.
