In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground spicy Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
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.
Mix in the sour cream, Rotel tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or a small slow cooker set to warm. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.
