Ingredients
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 in the center. Drain excess grease from the skillet to avoid a greasy dip.
- Add tomatoes and cream cheese: Stir in the entire can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, including the juice, along with the cut pieces of cream cheese directly into the skillet with the sausage.
- Melt and combine: Continue stirring over medium heat until the cream cheese is completely melted and smooth, and all ingredients are fully combined into a creamy dip.
- Serve warm: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Use a mild or spicy sausage depending on your heat preference.
- For a smoother texture, you can briefly blend the dip after cooking if desired.
- This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low if serving over a longer period.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
- Try serving with crackers, breadsticks, or vegetable sticks for variation.
