Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Vegetables
- 1 lb smoked sausage, diced
- 3 jalapeños, diced
Cheese and Cream Base
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Other
- 3 (15-oz) cans corn, drained
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Sausage and Jalapeños: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced smoked sausage until browned and cook the diced jalapeños until they begin to soften. Drain any excess fat from the skillet before proceeding.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage and jalapeños with softened cream cheese, drained corn, mayonnaise, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
- Bake the Dip: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Notes
- For a milder dip, reduce the number of jalapeños or remove their seeds.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise for the creamiest texture.
- This dip can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
