Ingredients

  • 6 oz cream cheese softened
  • heaping 1/3 cup sour cream
  • pinch seasoned salt
  • pinch garlic powder
  • pinch onion powder
  • 1 lb pulled pork barbecue
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese divided
  • 1 8.75 oz can corn kernels drained
  • 1 Anaheim pepper seeded & minced

For Topping

  • thinly sliced red onion
  • cilantro leaves
  • pickled jalapeno slices
  • BBQ drizzle

Instructions

  • To a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, seasonings, pork, peppers.
  • Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture together until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Using a spatula, fold in the corn and half of the cheese until evenly combined.
  • Transfer the dip mixture to an 8 inch skillet, and spread it out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese out evenly over the dish.
  • Bake the pulled pork dip at 350° for 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The dip will vary from spicy to tangy or even slightly sweet depending on your choice of barbecue sauce so go with one you know and like. We used a Carolina style sauce in this, but not a mustardy one.
  • For more heat, add a diced jalapeno. You could also swap the anaheim peppers for a spicier variety- like poblano.
  • The corn adds nice texture but you can omit it if you prefer.
  • Give it a smoky spin by mixing in a teaspoon of liquid smoke with all the other ingredients.
