HOLY COW What's in THAT Dip

Best with Fritos Scoops.

When co-hosting a neighborhood supper club Christmas party, I was given an appetizer assignment. When I said I was just dry on good ideas, a friend said to try this. It was always a hit. The first thing I said when I tasted the final result was truly HOLY COW. But I knew what was in it. If you are counting calories, forget it. Otherwise, you'll need,

1 stick of butter
2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese
1 pound mild Jimmy Dean sausage
10-15 oz sweet white corn
chopped, jarred, jalapeno peppers
salt and pepper to taste

You won't believe how this all comes to together.

1. Melt butter and cream cheeses together over low-medium heat.
2. Start browning the sausage.
3. When sausage is done, drain and add to butter-cheese mix.
4. Stir in corn.
5. Add jalapenos to taste, I usually end up with at least 2 T., maybe more
6. Add salt and pepper to taste
7. Bake at 375 F in small casserole until bubbly.

Serve with Fritos, scoops work well. Watch people stay around that dish at your party until it is GONE. It is that good.
