Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) spicy or mild ground sausage
- 1 (10 oz) can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel), undrained
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables, for serving
Instructions:
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add Tomatoes and Cream Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid) to the skillet. Stir in the softened cream cheese until it’s melted and well combined with the sausage and tomatoes.
- Add Cheddar Cheese (Optional): If you’d like a cheesier dip, add the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet and stir until it’s melted and incorporated into the mixture.
- Serve: Transfer the sausage dip to a serving bowl or a small slow cooker set to “warm” to keep it hot. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
Enjoy this delicious, creamy sausage dip warm, and watch it disappear quickly!
