Monterey jack cheese, cojita cheese, and cheddar cheese (mild or sharp) can be used as well.

Are there other variations of this dip?

Besides making this a creamy corn dip by adding creamed corn, you can add more hot sauce to make it super spicy. You can add minced jalapenos for more heat as well. Adding a packet of taco seasoning will give this recipe a punch of chili powder flavor.
