Serves12

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces spicy breakfast sausage
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, cubed and softened
  • 1 (10-ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles (Ro-Tel), undrained
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 large jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Add the sausage to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese, tomatoes and green chiles, corn, sour cream, jalapenos, chili seasoning, salt, and 1 cup of the pepper Jack cheese. Cook until well combined and creamy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Top with the remaining 1 cup pepper Jack cheese. Bake at 350F until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 12 minutes. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Garnish with green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
