Sausage Cream Cheese Dip
Description
Sausage Cream Cheese Dip is made by browning sausage until fully cooked and crumbled, then stirring in softened cream cheese, undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies, and shredded Mexican or Colby Jack cheese. The cheese melts into the mixture, creating a creamy, slightly spicy dip. The preparation is straightforward, and the dip can be served warm right from the skillet.
The rotel tomatoes with green chilies contribute a mild heat and tomato tang, complemented by the richness of the cream cheese and the savory sausage. This combination results in a smooth texture with bits of sausage throughout.
This dip works well as a party appetizer served with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks. It can be kept warm in a slow cooker when entertaining guests.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days and can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to keep the texture creamy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage such as Jimmy Dean
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained, Rotel brand
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into pieces
- 1 cup cheese Mexican or Colby Jack, shredded
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until no longer pink and it's crumbled. Drain excess fat.
- Mix in cream cheese, then stir in Rotel and shredded cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and is combined with the sausage crumbles. Serve warm.
Notes
- If Rotel tomatoes are unavailable, use undrained diced tomatoes combined with drained green chilies.
- Prepare this dip in a slow cooker by browning the sausage first, then combining all ingredients and cooking on low until creamy and hot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
