1 Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2 Add the sausage to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat into small bite-sized pieces, until browned, about 7 minutes. Using a spoon, drain any excess fat, if needed.
3 Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream cheese, tomatoes and green chiles, corn, sour cream, chopped jalapeños, chili seasoning mix, salt, and 1 cup of the pepper Jack cheese. Stir and cook until well combined and the mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
4 Top with the remaining 1 cup pepper Jack cheese. Bake until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 12 minutes. If desired, set the oven to broil and broil until the cheese is lightly browned in spots and the edges begin to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes.
5 Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (the handle will be hot!). Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and/or a sprinkle of chipotle powder, if desired. Serve immediately with chips of your choice. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
