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, crumble and cook the sausage until it is no longer pink. This usually takes about 7-8 minutes. Drain the excess fat to keep the dip from being greasy.
- Add Rotel and cream cheese: Return the skillet to medium heat and stir in the undrained Rotel tomatoes with green chilies and the pieces of cream cheese. Continue stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Serve warm: Remove the dip from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping to enjoy the warm, cheesy, and savory flavor.
Notes
- You can use mild, medium, or hot sausage depending on your preferred spice level.
- For a thicker dip, allow it to simmer on low heat briefly while stirring.
- Substitute Rotel with your favorite diced tomatoes if you prefer less spice.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low for parties.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
