Baked Sriracha Sweet Corn Dip is warm, spicy and the perfect summer dip to feed a crowd.

BAKED SRIRACHA SWEET CORN DIP

One thing I love at a bbq, picnic or get together is appetizers–dips, spread, finger foods. If I am hosting a party I like giving my guests a spread of dips to snack on alongside chips, pita bread or cut up veggies. Today I am sharing a mouthwatering Baked Sriracha Sweet Corn Dip with you guys that is warm, cheesy and fresh.This dip has a bit of spice from the Sriracha but it isn’t overly spicy.

One thing I love about this dip is how colorful it is and the fact you can use up that extra sweet corn you might have in the fridge. This would be a nice addition to your summer picnics, bbqs or a family dinner. While this works great in the summer for easy entertaining, it also is a really nice tailgating dip too.
