Sausage Cream Cheese Dip

Sausage cream cheese dip only takes 3 ingredients to make your party a hit! Sausage, cream cheese and Rotel combine in this super hearty, satisfying dip.

It’s the perfect appetizer for the holidays, Super Bowl or any gathering.

This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker, although it’s usually devoured pretty quickly!

Sausage, cream cheese and rotel combine in this super hearty, satisfying dip.

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips. I prefer the scoop-able kind since it’s such a substantial dip.

And if you happen to have any leftovers, serve over biscuits for a yummy lunch or snack!

Sausage Dip ingredients:

1. Sausage
   • A tube of bulk pork sausage is the kind you want for this recipe. The type you would use for country sausage gravy and biscuits.
   • If you want to make this dip spicier, go for the hot flavored sausage!
2. Rotel
   • One can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. Again, you can adjust the spice level by going spicier with the tomatoes.
3. Cream cheese
   • Be sure to cube the cream cheese or it will take forever to melt.
   • Using 2 blocks of cream cheese will produce a thick, hearty dip like the one in the pictures.
   • If you use just 1 brick it will be creamier like a queso dip.
   • You can also thin the dip out by adding a touch of milk.

Sausage Cream Cheese Dip Variations

I absolutely love that this dip is as easy as 1-2-3, but there are some extras you can add if you want to take it up a notch!

• Cheese – sharp cheddar or Monterrey Jack would be phenomenal additions. Use freshly shredded and add up to one cup.
• Diced jalapeños – canned or fresh will add an extra spicy pop of flavor!
• Meat – some delicious substitutions include Mexican chorizo, leftover taco meat or meatless crumbles!
• Hot sauce – there are countless varieties, but our rotation consists of Tabasco, Valentina, Cholula and Frank’s. Add as much as you like!
