Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground pork sausage Make sure it says 'sausage'
  • 8 oz cream cheese No need to soften
  • 20 oz Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies Two 10oz cans
  • 15 oz can of corn Drained
  • 8 oz medium cheddar cheese Shredded, reserve some for garnish
  • 1 ea Roma tomato Diced
  • 1 Tbsp chives or green onion Finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large dry pot or deep skillet over medium/high heat, brown the sausage for 10-12 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  2. Remove the excess grease by pushing a paper towel around the pan with a spatula until fully saturated, then discard the towel.
  3. Cut the cream cheese into pieces and stir it into the browned pork until melted and incorporated.
  4. Add the two cans of un-drained Rotel tomatoes, the drained corn, and the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving some cheddar for garnish. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh tomatoes, reserved cheddar, and chopped chives.
  7. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

Serve warm, and consider offering fresh veggies as additional dippers. Adjust the spice level by choosing your preferred Rotel product, mild or hot. For extra flavor, toss in some jalapeños or taco seasoning. Do not overcook the dip once the cheese has melted to keep it creamy.
