Three-Ingredient Cream Cheese Sausage Dip
This creamy, tangy dip combines sausage, cream cheese, and Rotel for an easy and addictive appetizer that’s perfect for parties.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 pound ground or bulk sausage breakfast-style pork sausage or spicy Italian both work
- 8 ounces cream cheese one block; room temperature helps it melt faster
- 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies; about 10 ounces
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a large skillet over medium.
- Add 1 pound of sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until evenly browned and no pink remains (about 7–10 minutes).
- Carefully drain off excess grease into a heatproof container; wipe the pan if needed.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the 8 ounces of cream cheese in chunks and the entire can of Rotel.
- Stir frequently until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, about 3–5 minutes.
- If the dip seems too thick, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk to loosen.
- Transfer to a serving bowl or keep in the skillet on the lowest heat setting. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or cut vegetables.
Notes
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container within 2 hours. Store for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
