Get ready to wow your guests with the irresistible and oh-so-easy "3 2 1 Sausage Dip"! This creamy, cheesy, and flavor-packed appetizer combines just three simple ingredients—savory ground sausage, velvety cream cheese, and zesty Rotel (a blend of diced tomatoes and green chilies)—to create a crowd-pleasing dip that’s ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for game days, parties, or casual gatherings, this one-skillet wonder delivers bold flavors with minimal effort. Serve it up warm with your favorite tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies, and watch it disappear in no time. With its easy prep and indulgent taste, this sausage dip will quickly become your go-to recipe for quick appetizers and entertaining.
In a large skillet or nonstick frying pan, cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles using a spatula. Stir frequently and cook until the sausage is fully browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet to prevent the dip from becoming too oily.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cream cheese directly to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated with the sausage, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
Add the can of Rotel (do not drain) to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker set to ‘low.’ Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks for dipping.
