Preheat large Dutch oven on medium-high for 2–3 minutes.

Cut sausages into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place oil in Dutch oven; add sausages and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until browned and 165°F, then remove from pan and set aside.

Add potatoes, corn, and trinity mix to Dutch oven; cook and stir for 1 minute.

Add beer and tomatoes and green chilies (do not drain); bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and liquid is reduced by two-thirds.

Meanwhile, cube cheese.

Reduce heat to low; stir in half-and-half, cheese, pepper sauce, sausages, and green onions.

Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until cheese has melted and mixture is heated through.

Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes (mixture will thicken as it cools).

Serve topped with tortilla chips.
