12 Ounces Of Hot Italian Sausage Links – Remove Casings
2 (8 Ounce) Packages Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
1 Cup Sour Cream
4 Ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
2 Cups Frozen Sweet Corn, Thawed And Drained
1 (14 Ounce) Can Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes With Green Chiles
1 (4-Ounced) Can Of Diced Green Chiles
½ Cup Fresh Jalapeño Peppers, Diced
½ Cup Of Green Onions, Sliced
For More Kick, 3 Pinches Of Cayenne Pepper
2 Tbsp Sharpe Cheddar Cheese, Grated
1 Tsp Green Onion
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the sausage links in a dry pan over medium heat until they start to sizzle.
Use a spoon or flat wooden spatula to break up the sausage as it cooks and cook until browned and crumbly, about 10-12 minutes.
Remove the sausage from the heat and drain the fat. (For best results, sear the corn, onions & fresh jalapeño in 1tsp of the drained fat or olive oil)
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 4 ounces cheddar cheese, corn, the cooked sausage, tomatoes with chiles, green chiles, jalapeño peppers, 1/2 cup green onions, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, mixing until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and smooth out the top.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and the cayenne pepper.
Place the baking dish on a sheet pan and bake until the cheese has melted, and the dip is bubbling around the outside, about 30 minutes.
Top with the remaining green onions and serve!
