Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained)
- 1 lb Ground sausage (mild, medium, or spicy as preferred)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Cook until no pink remains, about 8–10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese. Stir frequently until the cream cheese is completely melted and smooth, about 3–5 minutes.
3. Stir in the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, including the liquid from the can. Mix well until fully combined with the cream cheese.
4. Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet, stirring until evenly distributed.
5. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the cheese is melted and the dip is thick and creamy.
6. Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add a pinch of salt or extra garlic powder for more flavor.
7. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a slow cooker set to 'warm' to keep it hot.
8. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
