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 and crumbled, with no pink remaining throughout. This usually takes about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to avoid a greasy dip.
- Add Rotel and cream cheese: Pour the undrained can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Then add the cream cheese pieces on top. Stir continuously to help the cream cheese melt evenly and combine with the sausage and tomatoes, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Heat through and serve: Continue stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and the dip is heated through evenly. Once ready, serve the dip warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Use lean sausage to reduce excess grease in the dip.
- For extra heat, use a spicy variety of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies.
- This dip can be kept warm in a small slow cooker or warming dish during parties.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop, stirring frequently.
