Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 serving dish or bowl
  • 1 colander

Ingredients

  • 3 cans whole kernel corn drained
  • 1/2 cup red onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup Miracle Whip or Mayonaise
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • Frito corn chips crushed (any flavor)

Instructions

  • Empty cans of whole kernel corn into a colander and allow to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
  • Chop onion and pepper (1/2 cup = about ½ a medium onion or pepper).
  • Combine all ingredients except for the corn chips in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cover and place the mixing bowl into the refrigerator for at least four hours for the flavors to combine. This is really important. Be sure and allow enough time for this.
  • Stir in crushed Fritos right before serving so you get that crunch and not soggy Fritos 
  • Garnish with extra Fritos, red onion, green bell pepper if desired
