I'll fully admit that my wife is the cook of the family! Best I can usually muster is mac and cheese or spaghetti. I can, however, whip together a mean Mexi-Corn dip when I need to!

2 blocks cream cheese; softened 1 packet dry Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix 1 can Mexi-corn; drained 1 can crisp yellow corn; drained 1 can Ro-tel; drained 1 can green chiles 1 can sliced black olives; drained 1 red bell pepper; diced
 * Ingredients**


 * Instructions**
 * 1) Combine cream cheese and dry Ranch mix. Make sure cream cheese is very soft. It mixes better!
 * 2) Fold in rest of ingredients.
 * 3) Chill.

(How's that for easy?!)

**Suggestions**

I use a deep bowl because it makes mixing easier. Also, be sure that you combine everything well. There's nothing worse than seeing your guests scoop out huge chunks of unflavored cream cheese! For chips, we love to use those big round crispy "Chipolte" chips. They have a reddish-orange color and a bit of a kick to them that goes well with the dip.
