Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Sage sausage
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 10 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 bag Tortilla chips or crackers
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the sage sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the cream cheese. Stir occasionally as it begins to soften and melt, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the cream cheese is partially melted, add the cooked sage sausage to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Continue heating the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the dip is bubbling and fully melted, about 7-8 minutes.
Once the dip is heated through, remove from heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve the dip warm with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
