This cheesy dip recipe calls for Italian sausage but you can use your favorite kind instead. If you’re not a fan of corn, you can omit that and it’ll still turn out fabulous.
Also, this is a great make-ahead appetizer for a large crowd, if you’re planning for a party. You can easily double or even triple the recipe, and it reheats well – so no need to whip this up last minute. Not that it would take too long; this dip is ready in about 25 minutes!
