Hot Cowboy Dip
Ingredients:
- 1 package hot bulk sausage (about 1 lb)
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1–2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes (about 10 oz), drained
- 1 large can diced green chilies (about 7 oz), drained
- Tortilla chips or veggies
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in the green onions and diced jalapeños. Cook 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir well. Add the cream cheese to the pot. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated with the sausage mixture.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, fire-roasted tomatoes, and green chilies until everything is evenly mixed.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with extra green onions before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, toasted bread, or veggie dippers.
