Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 16 oz pasteurized cheese product
- 1 lb spicy (or mild) Italian sausage
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (15.25 oz) can roasted (or regular) corn blend
- 2 (10 oz) cans diced tomatoes and green chilies
- Tortilla chips (optional for dipping)
Steps
- Cut cheeses into small cubes. Cut sausage links almost in half lengthwise (butterfly); turn over and peel away casings (wash hands). Preheat large saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place sausage in pan; brown 5–6 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, until no pink remains. Drain well.
- Reduce heat to medium and return pan to heat. Add cheeses, milk, and garlic powder; cook and stir 8–10 minutes until hot and blended. Drain corn and 1 can tomatoes and green chilies.
- Stir corn and both cans of tomatoes and green chilies into cheese mixture; cook 5 minutes or until mixture is hot and blended. Serve with chips for dipping, if using.
