Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage (such as Jimmy Dean)
- 1 (10-oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until it is fully browned, crumbled, and no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break it up evenly. Once cooked, drain any excess grease to ensure the dip is not too oily.
- Add Tomatoes and Cream Cheese: Return the skillet to medium heat and add the undrained can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies along with the cream cheese pieces. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted and is well incorporated with the sausage and tomatoes, forming a smooth and creamy dip.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the sausage dip to a serving dish or keep it warm in the skillet. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping, making sure to enjoy it while it’s hot and creamy.
Notes
- Use mild or spicy sausage based on your heat preference.
- For a thicker dip, refrigerate for about 30 minutes after cooking and reheat before serving.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker set on low for parties.
- Pair with pita chips or fresh vegetables for a variation in dipping options.
