Instructions
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to starting the recipe, or microwave it for 20-30 seconds so it softens up. Preheat oven to 400F and move the rack to the middle position. Grate the cheddar.
- If you're using sausages (vs. ground sausage meat), take the meat out of the casings and add it to an an oven-proof skillet. Cook, over medium-high heat, for 5 minutes, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along.
- Add the onion to the pan and continue cooking for another 7-10 minutes or until the sausage is nicely browned and the onions are softened and lightly browned.
- If there's a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out. Stir in the garlic powder and drained Rotel tomatoes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the cream cheese. It'll take a few minutes to fully incorporate and heat through.
- Once the cream cheese has melted in, top the dip with an even layer of the shredded cheddar. Bake for 10 minutes. You can broil it at the end for a few minutes if you wish. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you can't find Rotel, I suggest using regular diced tomatoes but also including a 4 ounce can of green chilies - it really makes a difference in the flavor of this recipe. Original Rotel is quite spicy, so use their mild variety if you don't want the heat.
- This is the cast iron skillet I used to make this recipe. I love cast iron because it keeps the dip nice and warm. You could also transfer the dip to a small Crockpot to keep it warm for longer.
