Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 10 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- For serving tortilla chips
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Sauté until fully browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and fully combined with the sausage.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain), garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined and heated through.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions for a burst of freshness.
Transfer the sausage dip to a serving dish or serve directly from the skillet. Pair with tortilla chips or your preferred dippers. Enjoy immediately!
