Ingredients
- 1 lb. hot pork sausage I like to use Tennessee Pride brand, but use your favorite
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 or 5 fresh jalapeños seeded (if desired) and diced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 10 slices cooked Bacon crumbled (or use 1 cup quality bacon bits)
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Prepare
- Get out a 3 quart or larger slow cooker.
- Brown and crumble the sausage in a skillet over MED heat. Drain really well.
- Crumble cooked bacon slices.
Cup of Yum
Assemble
- To the insert of a slow cooker, add all ingredients (feel free to cut the cream cheese up in cubes to help it melt easier). Lightly stir.
Slow cook
- Cover the top of the slow cooker with a paper towel, then add the lid on top of that (this helps keep the condensation from getting into the dip and making it watery).
- Cook on LOW for 2 - 2 1/2 hours, stirring well halfway through.
Serve
- Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh jalapeño slices if desired.
Notes
- Oven Directions:
- I estimate this recipe will serve approximately 15 people, but the exact serving size and amount will be up to you.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl, and stir well to combine.
- Transfer to a lightly greased baking dish (I recommend a 3 quart sized dish).
- Bake in preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly throughout.
