Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and combined with the sausage.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained) to the skillet. Stir to incorporate, allowing the mixture to heat through, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dip and stir until melted and well incorporated.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a slow cooker set to warm to keep it hot during serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve hot with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
