CHORIZO BAKE

8 ounces chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs
1 12 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
6 green onions, sliced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 375F. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat together cream cheese, cornmeal and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Stir in corn, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, onions, jalapeno pepper, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour half of the egg mixture into greased 8 cup casserole. Cover with 3/4 of the sausage. Pour remaining egg mixture over top. Sprinkle with remaining sausage and cheddar cheese. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes or until light golden and set. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
