Smoked Sausage-Jalapeño Corn Dip
8 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 medium, fresh jalapeño peppers
  • 4 links chipotle Monterey Jack smoked chicken sausage (about 9 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 (8 oz) package diced fresh red onions
  • 1 (10 oz) bag frozen corn kernels
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (6 oz) bag shredded Monterey (or pepper) Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle (or chili) powder
  • Tortilla chops, soft pretzels or sliced baguette (optional for dipping)

Steps

    1. Cut cream cheese into cubes and set aside soften. Chop jalapeños finely (about ¼ cup; remove membranes and seeds, if desired). Cut each sausage into 4 long strips, then chop.
    2. Preheat large cast iron (or heavy-bottom) pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Add oil, sausage, onions, and jalapeños to pan; cook and stir 3–4 minutes until vegetables have softened and sausage has browned. Add corn; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until hot.
    3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, and chipotle powder until cheese has melted and mixture is thoroughly blended and hot. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, soft pretzels or sliced baguette for dipping, if using.
