Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 jalapenos
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 1 bag frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 bunch green onion
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 6 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to broil. Place in jalapeno and red bell pepper to roast for 7-8 minutes each side. When the skin is blackened on the peppers, turn it over to allow the other side to blacken. Then place peppers into a covered bowl to allow to steam at least 15 minutes.
  • After peppers have steamed, remove the skins, stems and seeds. Optional: leave in seeds of jalapeno for more spice. Roughly dice jalapeno and red pepper.
  • Heat a large pan on high heat. When pan is hot, add in oil. Saute onions for 10 minutes. Then add garlic, corn, roasted red pepper, and roasted jalapeno. Saute another 3 minutes, then add green onion.
  • Add heavy cream, cream cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, and pepper jack cheese to the corn mixture. Season with garlic salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Transfer corn mixture into an oven-safe casserole dish and top with extra pepper jack cheese and Parmigiano Reggiano. Cover loosely with foil.
  • Then bake corn mixture for 20 minutes until bubbly, then remove foil, and allow to bake another 5-7 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and serve with tortilla chips or crackers. Enjoy!
